8x16x5 Flanged Revolution (F688-RSZ) by Avid Racing Concepts is a high
quality steel/chrome bearing. Our bearings have been tested and proven by
many racers. Check your manual for the correct size for your vehicle if you
are not certain.
The Revolution Series bearings are a low friction bearing with several
options to help satisfy anyone’s desire. What makes this bearing unique is
that it has a rubber seal on one side while having a metal shield on the
other. Rubber seals are great protectors against dirt but the price is
that they offer a little more friction due to the tighter seal. Now the
performance of a metal shield is excellent but allows dirt to get in
easily. So with the Revolution series, you run the rubber side towards the
outside and the metal towards the inside. You get the protection of the
rubber but the added performance by having one less rubber seal. But you
don’t have to stop there, if you are truly performance oriented and want
the least amount of friction then you’re in luck. You can quickly pop off
the rubber seal with an X-acto and place the metal shield facing outward
in your hubs. This is the best performance you could attain while
maintaining some protection from dirt.
