bearings quality

Post by scheckaet »

All balls or pivot works?
I need to replace all the bearings on my hybrid and wondered if one brand was a little better than the other.
I think I used all balls before and seems to hold pretty well.
What's your opinion?

Some say All Balls are crap, well actually just one person in particular

I got six years outa my All Balls steering head bearings. If the seals would have been in better shape I would have left them in there. The bearings were in near perfect shape

BTW, I don't know if it has always been this way, but Moose bearings are just rebadged All Balls

I had a Pivot Works swingarm bearing. Six years and it was toast

The Moose linkage bearings were all serviceable, except for the the one on the rocker arm pivot, the spacer shattered when I was removing it. The bearing was ok but I needed a new spacer. Luckily found a kit on ebay for $50
