Ohlins is on a distinguished road
When I was putting a new chain kit on at 27,000kms I changed my bearings whilst the rear wheel was off. There was only one bearing that had a slight amount of play. Whilst I was at it I thought why not just change out the fronts also? There was no play in them at all.

I always flip the seal off and pack with more high quality bearing grease instead of the small amount they come with.

As stated,for all the price of them why not?

As an aside on any extended ride,i.e.,France to Morocco that I ride,I always carry a full set as they're small enough to stash...peace of mind and all that.
