any reason why CRC charge 1.99 for upper set and 7.99 for lower set? Is there any difference?

FSA caged. Are the lower bearings larger?

Depends which type, as I said.

If they are just loose balls in a cage then buy ball bearings and forget the cage.

Why bother ordering them from CRC? They're £4 for a full set (including a little tube of grease) from Halfords. I've just replaced a set about an hour ago. You've still got a couple of hours before they shut

You mean there are shops other than CRC??

Next you'll be telling me there are places to ride other than my Turbo-trainer??
