Re: Rear Wheel bearing source?
FWIW&INHO&HO (honest&humble ) opinion,
Speaking from purely a bearing company perspective,
Whenever we get calls&enquiries for these bearings,
UNLESS we can be guaranteed the brands are USA or EURO/UK Made,
We stay away &are NOT interested in buying them.WHY?,
Because at one point/stage we're buying them in BOWER brand ,
They're made in the USA (Mexico),
THEN they (FM) switched to China,
NOW (here in Australia) BOWER/FM are NO longer making ANY journal wound rollers,
I DON'T know if that applies to RBC or other USA bearing companies,
Both euro&uk bearing manufactuers stopped making these kind/type of wound journal roller bearings decades ago.One of your Australian members Arnold Chivers,
Has come up with a metric new modern conversion for these wound journal bearings,
I'd strongly advise ANYONE to go this route,
Regards&thanks,
Adrian.
