Many enduro/MX bikes have rollers like that.
Normally 2 sealed bearings in there. And they both die quickly, it is not a comfy life they have.

if i ever move i will build a box trailer and put the lathe in it and take it with me
you can use it to wind up a transformer to make a buzz box welder
and things are good
