Spherical roller bearings. I can see why those would hold up better. The stock flange bearings are the cheapest things ever. Especially with the lock collar. At least I switched to the set screws.

no ball bearings , they are double tapered roller bearings in a housing and double sealed. very expensive  , will get to that later.

so the housing at the bottom is what has been on GOLIATH for some time now, they are the outer. then the pic of the bearing I use and the housings that will be on the inside of the inner frame rail, it is cut to fit between the rails and use the original bolt holes. its stepped to maximize strength and the zerk fitting.

Lots better than stamped steel flanges. What do you use for bearings ?

this is the rough cutting for the bearing housing. it needs to be cut down further and cleaned up.
