Tekno, why use 8x16 bearings in the rear hub carriers but then go with 8x14's in the front spindles? Just don't want to buy "upgraded" spindles later when it should have been 8x16's in the first place.
I would be willing to bet the 14mm bearings were selected so the spindles could be made more compact. That being said, a big truggy wheel is going to put much more stress on the bearing than a buggy wheel. Also, crashing less will make bearings last longer.
