The imported tailwheel is supplied with unsealed bearings. These are ok if greased regularly. If you are not keen on removing your tailwheel often and/or operate off a muddy dirt strip you may want to consider installing sealed bearings. Unfortunately the unsealed bearing is 1+3/8" (imperial). A local metric bearing can be made to fit but the bore in the wheel needs to be opened up slightly to 35mm. Two adapter spacers also need to be made for the centre of the bearing (see pic).
