Default Re: rear hub bearings

The wound roller bearings from Hyatt are actually "shock absorbing" roller bearings. I saw this described in a Hyatt catalog at work. When hitting a load the rollers would move axially, thus limiting excessive contact stress. The added benefit is the slot in the helix applies lubricant across the race.
