[QUOTE="davidd, post: 37471, member: 1177"] Craig, I do not know why the segmented bearing would be considered better. I get my big ends and bearings from Maughan. When INA stopped making the Vincent sizes Maughan switched to IKO, which I have been running in the racer. Both Carleton and I have used Alpha, but we had too many problems with them to continue using them. I do not know if Maughan still supplies IKO, but they will make the pin to fit the flywheels and they seem to have always supplied high quality parts. I use Carillo rods also except for racing, the small end in the Carillo is a little tight. I now specify it a half thou larger and there is no bluing on the wrist pin. David [/QUOTE]
