I may have to try this. I have aluminum hubs/.75 hex and having issues. The outter bearing is fine, going through inners like crazy.

Also, anyone have an alternative to the set screw for the hex? Mine comes loose, and I fear to crank them tight that they will become a permenant fixture. I think my hexes coming loose is the culprit. This then causes some wobble, then the inner bearing takes the brunt, then they prematurley wear/disinigrate. Dunno....thinking of going back to stock plastic.
