I tore up my stock bearing carrier on my '01 400ex this weekend and am looking to order a new one. As I am looking through trying to decide what to buy, I see they make an aftermarket carriers with a single bearing on each side, these bearings are nearly twice as wide as the stock. The other option is a carrier with a double bearing setup.
Next comes greasablity options - some have grease fittings in the center of the carrier others are external and grease without disassembling the part of the rearend.
What are the pros and cons? I don't want to hear about carrier brands to buy, I want to know what the justified purpose is for the different designs (single or double) and the grease options.
I do a ton of trail riding and race XC a few times throughout the year. Muddy trails and creeks are common terrain. No big jumping or anything like that.
Let me know if anyone has some knowlegde on this! Thanks
