Best place to buy sealed cartridge bearings?

CRAIGO5000

I'm after some new ones to replace on my shot to pieces after only 4 months Planet X AL30's.

Can anyone recommend a decent online retailer? I'm after 3 x 6901 and 1x 6001.

Cheers,
Craig

Get mine from here: http://www.somersetbearings.co.uk/

Type 2RSL low friction seals and remove the inner seal.

I can't emphasise how much better these low friction sealed bearings are...excellent. Glad i'm not the only one to have found out.

All bearings of the same size are numbered the same, whoever the manufacturer. If you have a SKF 6901-2rs, anyone elses bearing, NITTO, FAG, unbranded, KOYO...they;ll all be 6901-2RS.

Even if you didnt have the part number, almost any bearing supplier will be able to tell what it is just by its dimensions, OD, ID and depth.

Understood. Thank you, centimani!
