These are one of life's no brainers like TM Designworks chain guides.

You can feel the reduction in friction after fitting these seal kits when you wheel the bike across the garage.

Happy New Year to all.

Jeff Slavens sells SKF seal and spacer sets but I haven't checked if he sells the Beta versions.

I can get them if anyone in the UK is interested. PM me for details.

I didn't run into a dealer only problem so far but a fouled up online form problem. Kept bombing out during checkout. Maybe try again later. I know the scrapers were dealer only over a year ago.

How do you guys get such short life on bearings? With good spacers I can go years on a set of wheel bearings. Maybe its because I change my wheelsets around often and clean/grease seals when I do, and do not pressure wash.

i do pressure wash.. what can I say.. I like to start my ride on clean bike :lol: :lol:

I decided to go over the bike and grease things up and discovered that one of the rear wheel bearings was supper tight. I would not call it seized but way too tight and I have some cash credit at Town & Country.. so I just got them replaced. front wheel and link bearings were just fine though...

I've just started using a pressure washer. I used to use shout and a garden hose. but since the drought here in Cali, I've been washing my bike on the front lawn and I thought laundry detergent wasn't too good for it. Anyways, just started to get a squeaking sound out of the back end. I figure it's either the brake pads or bearings
