PSA: For those who have picked up Aspens, please avoid using NSK bearings. There is a tolerance mismatch and it will slowly wear away at your bearing seat!
While not all colors/finishes may be affected by this, we want this to be public information.
NSK is a popular brand for their smooth bearings but it is also known to run tighter especially when looking at their Platinum line.
Sorry for the inconvenience, this is a new issue that has just been found.

To clarify, the Aspen ships with stock factory bearings so this should not present an issue when using normal bulk bearings.
I am doing my best to personally reach out to all of those who have ordered but due to fighting COVID atm it might take me a day or two.
