As things currently stand, you have to be careful when bolting gears onto Versawheels with bearings pressed in, as the boss around the bore on gears prevents the face with the versa pattern from being flush with the wheel hub. We laser cut an .063" spacer with the versa pattern to take up the space and make sure overzealous students don't crush the bearing while bolting the gear to the wheel.
Having the option to select gears with bearing bores would prevent this; it'd also give us more options for clustering idler gears on common shafts. So, yeah -- make 'em all with bearing bores.
