the good people at Lakeside Bikes, Lake Oswego Oregon (Largest Pegoretti shop in America) swapped out the old sealed bearings for some Phil wood bearings. I will run these on my new (to me) DeRosa as soon as I can start the build up. Bonus, the shop found an extra QR skewer in their junk drawer. Tossed it in for free.
The axels are stout. I can't imagine these not supporting anything less than a circus bear.
Snowed in, binge watching a post mushroom-virus show where gas doesn't degrade and polishing rims at the same time.
