Axle Bearings

[YFZer]

Does anyone else have trouble with axle bearings? Mine seem to go bad quicker than normal, I usually put in All Balls bearings.

No problems here, I raced half of 2 xc seasons and never had any problems with bearings at all, (keep waiting though). Maybe try a different brand. And are you over tightening the chain maybe?? I do go through lots of rear break pads, My stockers lasted about 9-10 races and a bunch of rides. I put a set of tusk and they were gone is one race. I sticking w/ yamaha break pads and clutches from now on. And I guess bearing too.
