Montesa 315R Linkage bearings HK 1512

Are these caged needle bearings strong enough for our application or do we need the extra contact area and strength

of a full complement ( completely full of needles, no cage) bearing? What are people using?

Thanks

Craig

I would never use anything except the full compliment bearing. The bearings are under a tremendous load and I would want to spread that load as far as you can.

most folks replace them with the nedle bareings that you take out smabe but new. i just bought myself a new service free dogbone with ballbearing bearings in it sealed ones i dont think it will be service free but it will last a lot longer than the needle bearings
