Sealed wheel bearings today are, to put it simple, junk. almost all made overseas. I've read multiple tests concerning wrong grease type (and amount), poor quality races, etc. I gave up on cheap bearings and on my 21" on a springer (my ironhead chop) I went to ceramic bearings sold by Boco Bearing out of Florida. You have a choice of races, grease, etc. Spendy- $67 each- but they run almost forever. I just replaced the ones I had after 7 or 8 years, more out of GPs than real wear. Cannot recommend more highly.
