    Katec sells good stuff.

    No idea what your second paragraph means though.

    +1 for Katecs service, not ridden on them long enough to find if the quality is good or not, but others have and say yes!
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Another +1 for Katec, can't find the same great quality for cheaper anywhere else.

    I can vouch for the quality. Kaese is a strange person, but knows his bearings.

    Just another recommendation for Katec bearings. Running some in my rear Pro II Evo and Switch hubs, not been running them for too long but they seem good so far. Nice and cheap, about the cheapest I could find really for anything that wasn't going to be a gamble with it being unbranded stuff and the service is excellent.

    I needed some bearings for my Flatline a while back and was recommended Katec so got in touch and he gave me a price that was about half what it was going to cost for them anywhere else (they were a slightly odd size). He then quickly got back in touch with me telling me he wasn't going to be able to get hold of them for a few weeks so he talked me through some other options from other sites and made sure I knew how to instal them and grease them etc etc, certainly not bad service when he wasn't making a penny from doing any of that.

    Yup another one here, had katec bearings in my front pro2 hub for 6 months, faultless so far.
