Received my MR2015 bearings from China ten days after ordering. Three
days shipping by FedEx International Prioirity Mail. I inspected them and
they are right on target. My problem now is to choose the right dry
lubricant and apply it. I'm considering a graphite product and
a PTFE dry lube applied through the supplied micro tube. I will
show pics of the bearings next to the larger 15x21x4 mm. The
new ones are 15x20x3.5mm.

I'm favoring a dry PTFE chain lube like this one:

I'm looking for high temp resistance so PTFE is a better choice
than silicone, though both would probably work.. This looks like a
good silicone dry lube:

Well, I researched a little more on silicone dry lubricants and found that
the 3 & 1 Lube contains about 5% silicone and the Blaster Silicone Spray lube
has 15% silicone in it. Found this info from the Materials Safety Data Sheets.
A Dot 5 silicone brake fluid contains about 90% silicone. I will use the
Blaster product and apply it with the supplied straw. That's it.
