he did do a great job, and was very patient and kind. i know he said what he used was a big milling machine, but the bits were double sided (not sure what they're callled - could be end mill). he didn't have one that was exactly 16mm, but he did have one that was just barely over. his calipers read something like .635 (16mm is .629") so it was very close. the 16mm bearings don't press fit as hard as the 15mm ones did, but they don't fall out either.

i can't imagine the bearings have that much load where .035"+ tolerance will make that much of a difference. robin's stuff is extremely precise and perfect, which is what makes UE the quality that it is. all i can do is run them and see over time how they hold up. it was suggested to use loctite stud and bearing mount, but i want to be able to take the bearings out and replace them when they wear out, lol.
