    bearing buddies vs other brands of bb like products

    I put a set of "other than bearing buddies" on my hubs. I have thrown two to date and bought a set of "genuine bearing buddies". They seem to fit tighter. Anyone else see this happen?

    Throwing BBs can be a symptom of a loose wheel or worn bearings. There are a couple of tricks with Loctite and a punch that can hold them tighter, but make sure it's not bearings first.

    I checked the bearings and they appear fine. No wobble in the tire when I got it off the ground.
