Finally decided to do the pivots on my Rocket.

Where's the best (quickest / cheapest / most helpful) site to order them from? All pretty standard sizes, nothing quirky.

Cheers.

The Giant shop recommended Kinetic bearings:

https://www.kineticbikebearings.com/

When I get round to it I will order some frame bearings.  They were good in helping me find the right ones.

Kinetic beatings here... Great guys and bikers too. Lots of stock and quick delivery.

Used to use Kaesae, mad as a box of frogs but meant well and despite issues was always keen to help. RIP dude.

I can't look at one of these threads without a degree of sadness.

RIP Kaesae +1.

I buy stainless steel industrial bearings on eBay, pop the seals out and pack them full of grease. Frame bearings don't need to spin fast, just smoothly.

RIP kaesae +1 opened up a pack of his bearings last week with a hand written thanks and advice section. Made me sit down and think for a bit.

Simply Bearings why pay a premium for the same thing?

What happened to Kaesae ? He helped me out big time a couple of years ago.
