answer 2
To clean the bearing, when you pop the shields off, you can wash the bearing of dirt inside of the bearing, since the shields don't protect it all. just most of it, I prefer keeping them off, because if you do, all the dirt that comes in, goes out.

It makes it easier to clean/oil your bearings. The draw back is no cover no protection, so now it can get dirt in the bearings quicker. So you have to make up your mind which way to go.
