MarkE, the sizes are obviously different, but apart from that the new ones have MAG sealed in the roller bearing, and also in both bearings on either side of the main gear inside the gear box! Basically they are using the Magnetic Oil Concept actually within the bearings themselves - providing better water proofness at bearing level. ------------- Getdatfish |
