Looks like ive finally sourced an axle for my pro 2 rear hub, so looking for some bearings now.

Who are we using these days for long life bearings?

Thanks

Or your local bearing shop/transmission re-builders/hydraulic engineers (they always seem to be the same people). Or if you want mail order and less hassle, BETD do sets.

Or type the bearing codes into google and buy from somewhere reputable looking, i.e. an engineering workshop, yes, the chinese will fake SKF/FAG/whoever bearings and uk-bargain-bearing-supplies-25689* on ebay probably sell them.

Remember you want caged bearings for hubs, not 'full compliment' or 'max' bearings, these have no cage so the balls rub against each other when the bearing moves (which makes them great in things like pivots where lots of balls allows higher loads but wear isn't an issue).

*name made up, but you get the gist.
