thats what confuses me... it has the open bearings one side, and the back of the cage on the other? the guy at the lbs said these would work just fine... and they're easier to take out/maintain.

damnit...
the LBS is closed now... I was going to ask for loose bearings but he said they would work fine

which way should I put them in? it seems like the back of the cage is going to be against one of the bearing edges...

EDIT: sorry cny-bikeman, i didn't see that you said it faces the cone... won't this hurt the cup? or does the back of the cage not rotate?

thanks
