Same. I’ve swapped a couple of stock bearings for KKs (a long time ago) that are still going strong. Have swapped bearings in a couple of previously owned models where the original owner was into the “burn the solvent off” method of bearing cleaning. (ehh DON’T. It causes them to rust and/or lock up.)
