bearing balls, that is, for Shimano and other popular non-cartridge hubs.

Seem to be lots of choices concerning where to buy them and just what kind of steel they should be made out of.

Looking to buy 1/4" and 3/16", perhaps 200 of each.

So who's your favorite over-the-Net-and-through-the-mail supplier and what type/grade steel should I get? Nothing fancy, just most durable and most bang-for-the-buck.

Also, how should I store the unused ones to keep them from rusting? (big problem in the Houston area where I used to live, less so here because I am at 1000' elevation, but still, to play safe . . . I was thinking to just put'em in a quart yogurt container, spray'em with WD-40, snap on the top and call it good . . . any better ideas?

As always, Thank you, Mahalo, Salamat, Domo Arigato, Gomapseumnida, cảm ơn bạn, and etc. Lotsa different lingos here.
