Go to BikeBandit.com or RonAyers.com and look at the exploded diagram for your year model bike.

If it looks like a pair of ball bearings, it likely is a ball bearing based system.

Tapered roller bearings will have thrust cap washers and such that a ball bearing system won't have.

tapered roller, better than ball for this application.
