whats the difference between these 2?? I have a rad twin row, it has a 1 year warrenty but the tapered is lifetime.

double bearings arent suposed to be stronger??

Hard to explain without actually seeing one, but even though the tapered is only one row, it is supposed to be much stronger. I think because you actually apply side force to the bearings when you install it, like I said, hard to explain but definitlely worth it I think. That being said, if you already have an aftermarket double row installed and aren't having problems with it I would turn around and fork out the money for the tapered setup...

well i dont think about changing my double row setup because im tight on money due to other goodies but id like to know. I cant remember where (maybe on rad site or in an ad) but they said the twin row setup is the setup for fighting bearing wear.:confused: I just dont know why it doesnt have a lifetime warrenty like the tapered unit.

thanks remlapr!
