Advice wanted on which of these to choose? Or if anyone knows a better alternative…

Blue Seal Weatherproof Bearings (never heard of them) £11 all 6

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291123324375?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Would be great to think that the £11 option is a good choice!
Also the stainless sounds like a good, long lasting option, but with SKF you are getting a name that is tried and trusted.

My latest bearings were cheapy ones from ebay…. they’re still going fine two years down the line (mainly muddy winter SS use)

I just use cheap stainless ones from eBay, and pack them full of grease before putting them in.

I’d personally go for SKF or other decent name brand. Cheapo ones don’t tend to be as long lasting in my experience.

Whichever you go for, pop the seals off and put some more good quality grease in there before fitting.

Are these definitely XC hubs?

Not used him but this chap got some very good feedback last week on here.

Yarp.

Yes Dave, the first link I posted is from Ka tech Bikes
😆

Thanks Bigyinn. Wasnt 100% sure. See so many people name them as Bulb

Ah, it show’s Q:Bikes. Are they the same?

My mistake Dave, lol. I had Ka bikes bearings in my ebay watch list.
I clicked your link and without thinking twice, thought it was the same.

Had the Hope ones and some cheapo from a bearing supliers. If I still had Hope hubs, think I would give him a go.
