Morning all

What's the current bearing supplier of choice?

I'm on the hunt for some 6802 cartridge bearings for my Oiz main pivot.

Ta in advance.

Wych bearings for me.

I prefer a good skf or FAG bearing over the more typical enduro max etc.

There's some good threads on here in the past on the pros/cons of different bearing types.

And regardless of bearing, pop the seals and jam them full of marine grease or similar.

I’m on the hunt for some 6802 cartridge bearings for my Oiz main pivot.

If you buy three sets, should get you through to Spring...

I've just got some from Trailvision (blue seal). I'm hoping they'll last a bit longer than the last set.

Enduro were the worst in terms of longevity.

Any local bearing supplier. They supply industry, there's loads all over the country!

You won't go wrong with FAG, NTN, SKF, NSK or Codex.

Don't give your money to the re-branding rip-off merchants, they offer high prices (usually at least double) and average to poor quality. ****-em they deserve nothing.

I thought Enduro max were meant to be amongst the best? I got a set of the black oxide ones for my Scalpel. Can't be worse than the stock ones though.
