[#4815306]

I'm in need of replacing my Trek Elite Press fit BB90's and after scouring local bearing shops they seem to think the bearings are impossible to come by / made to licence for Trek...and loathe to pay the amount they seem to charge in the Bike Shop/UK interwebs.

I found this shop [url= http://www.enduroforkseals.com ]http://www.enduroforkseals.com[/url]

Just wondered if anyone had ordered through them before I go through the checkout as in the checkout it had "Gift Information" which after reading threads about PayPal gift gave me the willies. (though i'd pay through Visa Debit anyway)

I fitted some to my Fox forks, felt a bit sticky to start off with but nice and smooth now, done over six months in the slop and when I open them up for a lowers service they're spotless inside, I think the extra oil seal helps keep the crud out.
Not as plush as the new Fox SKF seals but better longevity in the long term IMO...

I ordered some Fox seals direct from them. Seals were good and delivery was fairly quick from the states.

Exactly my experience too. They're really good seals. I think I've done a year on mine now with only a couple of oil changes and both times they've been spotless inside (and the oil levels hadn't dropped).

Chris @ RWC is also great to deal with.

No point in them really with the new Fox SKF low friction seals which perform a lot better stiction wise.

good point Loco but he was asking about the company as he wants to buy BB bearings?

I bought a BB from them in December - haven't actually been able to ride it yet but it arrived quickly considering it's from the States, no problems with them there.
