purely looking at the recess i would say its meant to be there,i cant see that shape being even possible to be worn,not with the straight lines to it bud

ive stripped an old k03s apart before and it werent that worn  :huh:
i know which bit you`re on about too, you should have felt about 1.5mm in and out play with that much wear!  you`d be better off getting a 360* bearing too.. not essential though  :tongue:

i`m sure the 360* bearings dont have the star in the middle, it is all bearing material all the way around rather than the missing bits/grooves hence 360*.
