Rear wheel bearing poll

[2qmedic]

1) Does your Valk have the single bearing or Double row bearing mod?
2) How many miles has it been driven on the Double?
3) How many single bearing failures have you had? on # of Valks?
4) Did you use high pressure water to wash it?
5) Has the double row bearing ever failed?

Thanks for sharing your experiences
