I don't know about which bearings but I have had dealings with Kael over at Katec and he was very helpful with advice and even ended up giving me some bearings for free (which were top notch). His tools for pressing and removal are quite reasonably priced as well compared to others I have seen. My advice is to call him around 5pm as he works during the day and can be a bit slow to respond to emails.

Find the bearing numbers (a quick google should do the job) and order Koyo bearings from a bearing shop.
I use them on my bikes after I trialled them on quarry conveyors (wet, dirty, low speed, variable load) for a year. They out performed the other quality brands by a long way.

I used to get those for my skateboards they just keep spinning and spinning. +1

I've used Katec and can recommend. Much simpler getting the kit as they come with any other bits needed like top hats, which my bike needs..
