    I am amazed that this one isn’t junk.
    Normally I wouldn’t want to use these.

    It all came apart just fine once I applied the proper tools.

    The Yamaha Moto-Bike had that shitty style crank. You had to keep a spare on hand as they were soft.

    I know their collectible now but they were really just like riding a heavy pogo stick.

    Most of the bicycles I've had have these style bearings. Been a lot of times I'd open the crank and none of the bearings were in the ring anymore.

    caged. made from the finest steel.

    Ha, I just remembered a joke about ball bearings but it's hard to tell without one and it takes a rather large ball. Like a pinball or bigger.

    "Did you know all ball bearings have a crack" most will reply "No". And you put the ball on top of the fingers of your outstreched hand to show a refection of a buttcrack.
    Hey it's an oldie.

    edit: found a pic thanks reddit

    I always asked, "Have you ever seen the bottom of a ball bearing?"

    Then show them the same reflection you photo'd - but from the other direction. The bent finger joints make a better butt than the knuckles.

    Easier to display also, since you just aim your fist at them.

    If you remember changing tapes on the mighty IBM System 32…

    You probably remember when they tossed all these out.

    If the Buzz you remember was named Aldrin, making big Ratfink stick shifts, the song Blue Moon, and being happy to see the stars and stripes.
