Can you use metal sheilded bearings ?

Can metal sheilded bearings be used for a rear bearing on an os50? . will they cause lubrication problems.

[bish]

nooooooo open bearings for the rear

Just ping the shield out

Yeah thought as much ,Paul how easy are they to pick out ? , and why are sheilded bearings cheaper than open ones:/

Easy enough, doesnt take long at all.

Unsure tbh, never really looked. Going to try the ones from RCBearings next thought @ £2

You shouldnt need to replace the front bearing, just the rear

TBH the front looked and felt fine i just worry about stuff and like to change things and make them shiney and new
