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?
They will be a tight press fit. You need to turn the ends down for a sliding fit. You really don't want them unless you have some application where the shaft doesn't need to be removed.
