Fellow forumers,
I'm fixing up my old dura-ace hb 7600 hubs, going to get some new bearings.
Obviously it would make sense to just buy the shimano original parts right, but I've heard opinion that the shimano balls aren't all that and there are other makes that costs less and offers better quality, and I guess rolls better or longer.
Anyone have any experience or opinion about this?
Cheers

Bumped in to big daddy wayne at the putney cycles store today (nice meeting you), who mentioned this ride, and as I've just finished putting togther my first fixed this morning I'll join in for a first ride.
Cheers!

Yeah, but shit happens all the time, I've been cycling for about 15 years in traffic, but occasionally I drive a car, it's no difference, it doesn't matter if I'm on a bike or in a car, eventually I end up in situations where the "other" driver/cyclist does something that I didn't predict and of course my gut feeling/reaction is that the other cunt is a cunt, I did nothing wrong. Thinking about it later on, many times I realise that the situation isn't all black'n'white. But it's all in the nature of being on the road, mistake number one is to expect people to follow rules or showing the least bit of respect. I always try to stay out of the way of moving objects that's larger than me, doesn't matter if I got right of way or not.. Kept me out of trouble so far..
While we're at it, what is the best grease to go with the ultrasmooth ceramic bearings, surely grade 5 ceramic bearings will require equivalent quality grease.
