Thunderhex-Tight press bearings?
I am currently in the process of deciding whether or not to use Thunderhex on our 2016 robot. I will admit that I am one that likes to save as much money as possible. So while researching thunder hex I found that for a little over a dollar a bearing I could buy some tight press bearings from Vex. The catch is they are 0.01mm under the effective diameter of Thunderhex, making it apparent that they will be a tight fit. My question is does any one have experience with these bearing?
