Correct you are sir ;) They all came from the factory with a sealed mechanism cone and loosebal, but I'm looking to upgrade due to the fact that I live on the ocean and looseball systems take a beating quick.
I don't want the hassle and maintenence the looseball and cage bearing offers you, plus I like to ride and usually end up beating the looseball setups to pieces rather quickly.

Thanks for chiming in, I see you really dug deep and found this post as well ;) This is how I found the site... I was browsing the net and ran across this very same post.
This is exactly what I'm wanting to do since I'm sure it MUST use sealed bearings of some sort. I did contact the memebr that owns that P.K. and all he was able to tell me was that the BB was a Kajita branded unit.
It seems that whatever BB it is it allowed use of the original spindle :) Now if I could only figure out what model # it is and where to source one, I would be set :) PLEASE HELP!!...Mr P.K. Ripper man ;D

Exactly what Sam said above I'dve thought :-\
The Sugino CV BB ( same as HLT cranks) are a threaded axle sealed bearing BB O/S set ,, but do not have the all important splined edge to carry the spider for a DX crank set up :-\
As they say round here
" I think tha's puncin' up brew "
or you're gonna really really struggle :-\
Why is it so important for them to be sealedbb any anyway
If the BB is fitted and greased correctly it would be fine ??? :)
,,if you're thinking about using in competition (racing)half seriously ,, sell the DX and get Redline 401's with the Techmatic sealed BB ::) :4_17_5:

8) this I'll have to check into. Maybe it will allow the use of the stock DX spindle? Depending on if it's 24 or 28tpi and if it accepts a 5/8" axle. If so then it's a possibility ;)
Thanks for the help/idea, much appreciated,
Marc
