wheel bearings

anyone recomend a decent,cheap make.

bought a few sets over the years and some certainly last longer than others...

I went to a local Bearing supplier and bought two for £18 this morning.. I thought that was abit steep [sure I payed less last time but its been a few years since buying some fronts] so came home and searched the net briefly to find that you can buy KTM originals for £7 - I'm fecking still fuming about it.

Bastard shit feck pooh faced titty licker
[takes deep breath]....
So to answer your question just buy originals off the net.

trouble is you can never be sure they are the originals!

For proper bikes you can get them from here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] they're skf bearings and real good quality, not sure if they will fit your red one though, how old are your wheel spacers? They wear and let all the shite in between the spacer and the seal

Skf bearings last pretty good....beware of some cheap internet bearings, a mate bought a pile of em but ended up changing them every 2/3 rides.

Obviously only buy from bike dealers on the net.. not an ebay alibaba

I just binned a set of SKF, they are good quality.. came out of the hub easy to which is a joy.

Don't bother with all balls there crap there seals to well have been for me anyway.

What ever bearings you buy spend a little time taking the seals off and packing the bearing with grease, Both sides.
You,l be surprised how little grease there is in them, Since ive been doing this they been last a lot longer.
