It has been interesting seeing all the posts about this. The real question is 
why would you ever use a TB3 or TB4 at $161 and $185 (from 3Star) when you can 
have a REAL bearing for only $30.98???? Made with REAL steel, seals and a zerk 
fitting?

A nice  1" thick plate of Delrin with a two inch hole cut in it using a hole 
saw from your local hardware store works really well also - Delrin however is 
way more expensive than these bearings.
