front wheel hub, put balls back on same side with the same cone

Is this important? I've read you should do it as they
are worn together and if you don't put them on their
original side it all gets imbalanced and the load
isn't distributed evenly.

Is this true?

But if they are that worn, maybe you should replace
them?

Is there anyway to check how worn they are? I have
several Verniers but to rotate every ball inside the
grip to get an estimation of their roundness seems
tedious, an inexact.

Not that it is a problem putting them on their
original sides.

f you take the balls out of a hub the ideal thing to do is throw them away and use new ones so as to avoid any problems with the old worn balls.

Usually after you take the bearing apart and clean it, if the balls
look a bit worn I believe that most people just chuck the lot and put
in all new. If you buy balls in lots they are cheap enough to be
considered as expendable.

As for putting the balls back on the same side, I never bothered, just
threw everything into a pan, washed them in solvent, re-lubed them and
assembled them. Never had any unexplained failures yet.

Toss old balls....vernier n balls sit on flat surface...buy cartridge bearing hubs

I've nver bothered, and I don't know anyone who does.
Shops will just replace them if there's any doubt.

They'll look worn. If in doubt, just throw them away. New ones are
cheap, if you buy 100 balls at time (which isn't that many wheels.)

People actually consider putting them back? I toss 'em and replace. They
are cheap. The time spent examining them and fussing about cleaning and
replacing them vs. the cost of putting new ones works out to less than
minimum wage. I don't work for that little.

Well, we longears like to work. We don't sleep many
hours a night. But thanks for this reply and the
others as well. It seems my intuition was correct in
this case.

The problem you might run into, and why new balls are recommended, is if the old balls are badly worn they might not be round any more and thus putting them anywhere in a hub could result in the need to readjustthe cones after even a short ride because balls have shifted to their lowest heights thus causing the cones to no longer be as tigt; or the uneven balls can cause premature wear to the cups of the hubs themselves and ruined bearing hub cups usually means a new hub.

We like to warn about potential problems but in the end it's up to the owner to decide if the risk of damage is great enough.
