Now does this project involve machining your own bearings too (perhaps with a dash of aluminum welding and tempering)? Btw, commercially available bearing parts from reputable manufacturers are fit to tolerance too.
Not sure what the weather is like at your level, but pretty sure I would personally just buy the bearings from a commercial source for what its worth. And then I'm pretty sure I will pick the correct style of bearings and choose whether or not I'd want it to be sealed and internally greased or not. I'd probably go with a sealed one. So again, don't see how greasing bearings becomes an issue I'd have to worry about, or the 'leaving of gaps' for the grease as far as commercially available bearings are concerned.
