Finally ordered up a set of sealed rubber ball bearings for the pede. I'm sure that these will make a big difference all around. I have read alot of times that this is one of the best and most important upgrades to do to an xl-5.
Question is: will swapping out the bushings for a set of bearings tighten up the wheels in the carriers all by themselves, or will I have to upgrade some other parts at the same time. ie: the plastic tie rods to the aluminum adjustable ones. The plastic tie rods that are stock on the xl-5 seem to be pretty loose and flimsy, but RPM also makes replacements of the plastic versions as well, which I have thought of putting on.
Any thoughts??
