Tapered or Dual Row
Rad makes these for cannondales which one is better..
I would prefer the tapered or the stock bearing set before going with dual row style bearings. Dual rows cost more and when they fail they usually lock up and weld the inner race to your axle . At least from our experince. With the stock one you have twice as many seals keeping water out so there is less chance of total destruction if one bearing fails.

I set the carrier on two blocks of wood and using a long brass rod knockem out with a hammer on rod.The spacer tube will move to the side enough to get at the bearing.They come out easy just make sure you go around bearing you dont want to have it get to crooked on way out.Does Winky make a carrier bearing set?I know he makes the swingarm bearing set which is real nice but that is for where swingarm connects to frame.

I like the stock setup the best also.If you run tapered be prepared to buy a new brake hub since you wont have the axle tight enough to prevent the aluminum splines from wearing out.

I am curious because I run the Rad tapered carrier what do you mean????
Just hoping to avoid a problem later.
