Looking at their stuff on EBay - anyone used them? Good/bad?

Worth getting the "premium" kit?

sure is. Once you get past his slightly alarming online persona, his bearing kits are actually very good!

I used a set on my old five. No complaints, good service and quick delivery.

Hmm. Seems I've stumbled across a story, as well as a bearing kit.

Do I want to know the back story?

The bearings from Kaesae are good, buy them.

No problems with the set I bought for an Enduro plus email advice as well.

I've bought kits from him for a couple of Hope wheelsets and my Anthem. Don't know about the Anthem as I sold it but the Hope bearings are still going strong.

He also sent a load of bearings for my kids scooters for free when I bought some Hope bearings from him. He's had some stick around here but he has always been helpful and given good service for me.

Definitely more interested in the story than the bearings now.

Bought several kits for both Anthem and Trance. Always been great. Good service and good prices. Plus he fixed my bike for me once.
So what is this spooky story which I have always heard hints of but never understood?

Kaesae is a great guy, as someone said "he's a nutter, but [i]he's our nutter[/i]

Actually, a really nice and helpful chap, a pleasure to meet as well. Got his own engineering shop so actually does make stuff that works. Been helpful to us in solving problems, generous in giving both time and advice.

I can't see him ripping anyone off either.

Not more I can say TBH..
