Do you guys have a preferred bearing brand? I replaced my bearings with an AVID "Revolution" bearing kit, and although they are butter smooth, there is a lot of play in them which causes more slop. The Xray bearings seem tighter but not too durable. Do you guys go with Fast Eddy, Boca or anything like that to keep the slop at a minimum?
Xray for me. No slop, low friction and the seals seem to do a good job of keeping the dirt away outdoors.
I don't race indoors though so can't comment on durability if you smash them into some 2x4".
