If you just couldn't do oil mods, what's an alternative?

did you read the section on bearing grooving in the PDF I posted.

That was some fascinating reading. Lots of info in digestible form, and not just on the bearings. Thanks for the post.

I find it intriguing that a company that has tested this, and come up with those findings still sells 3/4 and full groove bearings. A case of, "the customer wants what the customer wants" type situation? Because the way I understood that was, anything past half groove, even less then 3/4 starts taking away from upper bearing support and does nothing to help lower bearing support.

If they'd ever answer their phone I'd like to ask themthat.
