[QUOTE="luvtoride, post: 445419, member: 250"] Last year, I put a new front wheel on my bike. I had brand new set of OEM bearings put into it. I am assuming that my mechanic's helper, who did the assembly work, bent a race when putting the new bearings in the wheel. A couple of thousand miles after having the wheel put on the bike, I had my front brakes give out due to the brand new bearings failing. A really lovely surprise, too. Really glad that I wasn't at highway speed. I'd assume that your bearings were damaged when removed. Either that or when reinserted. [/QUOTE]
