There was a bit of a debate going on about these on the 20v list, so since I 
have both styles (black, and blue), new, I took some pics to quell some of 
confusion. Avail here: www.cs.usm.maine.edu/~stuart/urqblue
The blue is made with a much stiffer rubber too, BTW.

Not sure about the different flavors of the blue bearings. These were the ones 
Rod at TPC sent me.
