Bearing vendors?

[amstel78]

I once saw a post where someone recommended a place online that sells quality bearings at a reasonable price. I can't find that link anymore.


I need to replace one of the upgraded 7075RC wheel bearings. Don't know if it's just a fluke and I got one bad bearing as this is only the second tank on the new 7075 carriers and bearings, but one of them is already gritty and binding. It's to the point that it's sometimes locking up the right front wheel and making clicking noises when the hub is rotated.


BTW, what's the actual measurement... I'm assuming 10x22x6? 10mm is the ID, 6 is width, and 22 is total bearing circumference?

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on bearings until I can figure out the spacer issue. Right now I'm just making sure not to over-torque the wheel nuts as that's what places lateral pressure on the inner race. For me, the VXB bearings from Amazon at $3.50 a piece was perfect.

Wow. That's much better! Have you ordered from them before? If they're legit, I'll know where to get my next set of bearings from.

If you sign up with VXB.com, they send you free coupons for free stuff when you order. Calipers, digital thermometers, etc.

I also use Acer Bearings when I have production items with bearings.

I found them on e-bay, so far so good.
