I’ve had no bearing issues with RF or Wheels Manufacturing 30mm/PF92\. Maybe SRAM was different. Still, I have a hard time believing 1.01mm makes a substantial difference to durability.
Edit: re-reading the article, it sounds like the bearings are the same, it’s just the sealing that was improved, and that’s what the 1.01mm spindle reduction facilitated. The claimed improvements would be more credible if they published some of their lab results.
