Um...if bearings are actually FALLING OUT of the hub, it's because YOU didn't take care of it.

actually, i did take care of it. made sure it was well greased and the hub was tight. i think it was just a bad hub. it was my friends wheel first. he had that wheel in the front and the same model except with a freewheel in the back. the same thing happened with the one in the back as the one in the front.

I'd have to see it, because short of breaking an axle (most of which can be replaced without junking the whole @#^&ing wheel, not to mention missing bearings) and GROSS neglect or user error, bearings don't just 'fall out' of hubs.
eh maybe there was some neglect....but thats why its worth it to pay the extra money for sealed bearings...less matinence...and the matinence you do isnt as hard.
