I see alot of guys changing spindle bearings out. Is this because of necessity or just because?
Do many still use the stock bearings/lube and have you had issues?
Thanks

Running at prolonged high speed cooks the bearings, changed mine only once over 12 years, avoid high speed at long intervals let the bearings cool.
