So I guess these were the socialist bearings you had to change. One cannot compare these with the actual modern bearings with glass fibre reinforced PA66 from FAG, SKF and the like. But then, in case of a two stroke, well, with modern gasoline - which is basically a lot of different thinners, alcohol is nothing that matters in this respect (!!!) - I am not quite so sure what that does to PA66. That might soften the plastics possibly, I don´t know.
I should add to my post above, BMW had early polyamide cages one time in the sixties but there was some trouble with them I was told. I was not overly happy with bronce cages as well, did not prove to be as long lasting as the ridiculous price suggested. I will sell my old stock of these at max price for those who believe in them.
