    I disassembled my summit to clean and lube, and routinely check the
    condition of the bearings, and to my surprise I noticed that each of
    the bearing housings, which I thought were "sealed", were sealed on
    only ONE side. The side that faces the outside, closest the cranks were
    UNsealed; you could readily see the ball bearings. The inner sides were
    sealed. Could the outer seals have broken, and simply fallen off? JUst
    seems strange that one side is sealed and the other is totally exposed;
    although the bearings on the "open" side(s) were all intact, and showed
    no signs of coming out.😕

    That is weird. The bearings on my origional summit wheel were completely
    sealed, and so are all the other bearings on all my unis...

    Your shieldings came off somehow. The only thing you have to worry about
    is dirt getting in there, your bearings won't fall out.

    Do you know where I can get replacement "shieldings" for them? For that
    matter, where would I get new bearings to fit my Summit? They have
    those "shims" around them too.

    KH bearings will work and you wont need the medal shim anymore.
