I have always used timken ,and tried different kinds of packing grease in the bearing and hub. What drag weight are you looking for ?
I was told by an old timer petroleum jelly was what he used ,so i gave it a shot and liked it .But keep in mind you will have to check the hubs frequently.

Now we have more and more of our youth going to the rice burner way of life. It makes my chest hurt to hear a teenager talk of his buddy's Nissan as the fastest car in town.
mostly looking for durability , I have heard that skf is now making there bearings elsewhere and their has been problems with cratering and flaking , as for the drag as little as possible , we used to use crisco and check every round ( I had a grease gun filled with the stuff ) and replaced them every 3 race sessions, timken I know for a long time has had a good finish but they are hard to get for certain apps.
