Chinese Bearing ...anyworth ?
« on: March 03, 2021, 12:56:13 AM »
Hi all
i recently had to overhaull my mavic rear hub and freewheel.
I found that the branded bearing were really pricy... so i had a look on our favorite "eastern" purchasing plateform and unsurprisingly found tons of bearing supplier for just a portion of the price.
I have no doubt that most of them would sell crap, but are there any chinese bearing brand that would be recommended ?
Thanks for your input

Don't worry, buy the chinese bearings. And buy some to have on stock.
Maybe the quality is less than the A-brands, but hey, replace them worn out. Maybe you have to do it a little bit earlier than with A-brands, but look at the price.

Same for brake pads. Keep them in stock. it's worth it.
