My Sonder Evol is feeling a bit sloppy so its time for some TLC any pointers for quality bearings that can sustain lots of Lakes water.
Rich
Wych Bearings recommended
I'd also pack them out with marine grease, more so being pivot bearings with little rotational movement.
I know some don't agree with me on this though...
Simply Bearings UK
This lot pack their bearings with extra marine grease. Seem good, and fast turnaround.

Usually whoever has the full set in stock.
Unlike bike companies bearing supply companies supply the real world so "in stock" means in stock etc.
Most have P&P so its usually easier to find one has every bearing you need.
Make sure you get the correct spec bearings in terms of full compliment/max fill and 2RS
Kinetic or Wych seem decent enough.
I favoured the former on price last time.
I've used Trail Vision as above, they have their own site at https://trailvision.co.uk. Give them the details and they'll construct a frame bearing kit so it's a single purchase for you.
Wych or Simply.
Wych in particular as they are very forgiving of my ordering errors and send out the correct ones immediately before I have returned the wrong ones. Obviously only an idiot would order the wrong ones on more than one occasion...
Bearings r us and Kinetic work for me.
Trail vision/Blue Seal. We have used them for years. They are based in South Yorkshire and usually turn stuff round in a couple of days.
Kinetic for enduro, their own brand are hit n miss depending on size.
Wych here. Lots of choice too.
Wych for bearings, Kinetic for full frame packs.
Next question is what level of quality do you go for, basic 2rs's, enduros or ceramic!
Kinetic always seem to work out cheapest for me when buying Enduro max, massive price difference for 6902 for example at simply bearings, shocking price.
Wych again for me, order early enough with standard delivery and will be there next day.
Even though paying delivery the bearing prices are cheaper than simply bearings.
Used Enduro max bearing says they use different grease / fill them more as they know they are used differently.
