it's (intentionally) been a couple years since i went to woods, but when i did, i took my suzuki rims (freshly powdercoated) and tires, and bearing spacers. the bearings had to be replaced, so i told them i need new bearings and tires on the rims, and gave them the spacers which they could reuse when putting in new bearings.
when i got them back, i felt around inside for the spacers and they'd forgotten. they'd also chipped the powdercoating after i explicitly told them to be careful. i went back and they said sorry, we'll replace the bearing and put the spacers in this time. they did, thanks.
i'm not sure it would have been fatal to not have spacers between the bearings but i wouldn't want to find out at 65mph on the freeway...
Pros: close
Cons: morons in service dept
