Webra Bearing Change

[Emory Schroeter]

Another bearing question for the Webra...

Are the bearings for the 1.45 and 1.60 the same? I called Boca the other day
and they only had the 1.45 listed. Anyway, he also said that they have the
front stainless bearings in stock, but are still waiting for the rear
bearing. He said it may be another 8 weeks.

Thanks, Emory Schroeter.
