i don't have crush tubes in mine. theres a healthy lip that the bearings sit on, didn't think they were needed.

Is there more than one size tube? I was (pretty) sure it was just one-

i used stock carrier tubes, and thin cvd spacers to get the perfect length. you have to open the plastic spacers with a dremel if you use the rpm bearings for 3/16 axles... you could crank the axle nuts down with a impact gun and still have them spin with silk ease, not that i do... but i hate having anything bind, they use the spacers for a reason, my gt's rear freewheels for what seems forever.... ahhhhhh soo smooooth..
