I'm curious if anybody has run these for a season. My gut would think the smaller balls of these bearings would reduce their load carrying capacity to the point where I'd be concerned about an ill-timed bearing explosion. But I haven't tested it, run numbers, etc. so I'd love to hear some reports of teams having success with this setup.
