Hello Friends,
I have been rebuilding my forks on my 1986 this week and upon removing the wheel I saw that the bearings are not sealed but open rollers. They seem to be fine, but I thought since I had the wheel off I would replace. Should I go back with the open rollers or replace with sealed units? And does anyone have SKF, NOK, BCA, NTN, or any other brand's part numbers for the bearings and seals? I don't wanna buy online when I can run down to NAPA and pick them up locally. Thanks so much! This is a great forum and I have learned a lot from all of you!
