Good Advice!!

Thanks for your advice, John.

You have a very clear and helpful style of writing which I believe can be read
and understood by anyone on this NG, even non-speakers of the English language.
And the topic of loose bearings can be apreciated by riders of any style, and of
any level.

Now the only problem is where one might find this stuff outside of the
good 'ol USA?

Maybe should be carried and supplied by "Unicycling.Com?"

Keep on Rolling!
