Well, everyone have to consider that these bearings don't have rubber shields, so unless you're using grease, dirt will find way in. So just check it more often, clean and relube them again. I'm really using only GT85 for lubing all my bearings and they are nice free rolling.
Even my rubber sealed acer bearings seized from dirt, regular cleaning is a must when racing on dirt.
