Karel...good point.

If my math is correct, those little puppies rev up to just over 5000  
rpm when traveling at 60 mph. Elsewhere on the McMaster site is a  
chart for "precision ball bearings" which rates the lowest grade at  
5000 rpm. So...IF the so called "precision ball bearing" in the wheel  
I cited is what they say, it should be ok...it's worth checking w/ the  
manufacturer which I will do.

What wheels do you use?

Fred
