Default ABS bearing question.

I may be buying a set of wheels/tires off of an ABS bike to put on my non ABS bike. They are off of the same year bike as mine, 09. Do I need to change the the ABS bearings to non ABS bearings or can I just leave them as is? The new, ABS wheels have less than 1k on them so I know they are still good.

Answer is no you do not need to change the bearing. All 25mm (axle) bearings that are 52mm outside diameter (yours) are 15mm wide/thick. All bearings of this size are a single row of ball bearings and different than the 1" (axle) 52mm X 19mm which have a double row of ball bearings.

Thanks. That's what I thought but wanted to make sure before I bought them.
