I have yet to see undue wear on my bearings from it. It would have been nicer if they molded new arms, but its still worth the xtra width imo.
@Bondo: How do you like the FLM arms? They look nice, but I always worry about going alu on the arms. One of the few parts I have broken have been the arms a few times. I worry about going alu that I will then be bending them &/or breaking bulkheads. Arms are quite cheap on ebay.

Get the 2 speed off Ebay. Looks like they go for @20 bucks or less. The Flux tranny's are selling for 40+ (I believe they are buying their own parts back time after time....I've been trying to buy one for a couple months - no way are they selling that many of them at exactly the same price every time).

It thought I saw them come down a bit (into the low $30s....) but maybe not. I bought the X 2spd for $15 and got the idler for ~$7 in my next amain order. The fluxes were going for $40+ at the time. I even got the plastic 47T spur and slipper intact, while the fluxes were stripped. WTF.
