OK, I know the size (15x26x7), but there are a myriad of choices out there.

Will the pricier ones be better ?
These are for my road bike (American Classic hub). I am quite heavy - not even sure if that makes much difference.
Original items have lasted less than 3000 miles (i.e. the same as 2 tyres) which I don't think is very good.
Advice, please...
Cheap one's tend to be unbranded chinese and are very variable quality, but contact ISON to confirm.
The double the price ones will be made by a recognised industry std brand, like FAG, SKF or INA.
I have tried both types, & I now will only use branded bearings, my choice.
I changed the bearings in my WTB hub,which i think is the same design as American Classic.I used Enduro bearings and found no difference in how long they lasted.
I'd just get the sealed bearing cheaper ones,gently prise off the seal and pack with grease,replace the seal and fit.
