As
to launching with no bearing buddy, Cut a coke can in 1/2 and it slips
right over the hub. Put a piece of duct tape around if you want even more
protection.

Ooo.., good idea. I needed something to protect my assembled hub from dirt
and the like. I will try the soda can. Make sure it's empty before cutting?
