I have a Felt Z4 with BB30. I don't need any bearings just yet but I am going away avec bike for 2 weeks so thought I would add a set of bearings to my going away spares kit. I understand that SKF are the bees knees but what number bearing is hte best one to get. Any advice much appreciated.
I have only two things to say to that; Bo***cks

    generic bearing is 6806, unless you ride only in dry/clean conditions you want ones with seals 6806-2RS

    the main thing is to get high quality bearings, cheapo ones may be poor tolerance, which can lead to all manner of woes

    skf sealed bearing...

    fit new bearings now before you go away, do you really want to be dxxking about with bearing presses and torque wrenches when your away riding?

    Are BB30 bearings so fragile that you are worried about them falling apart in just 2 weeks?

    If they are fine now, then I'd forget about them. They aren't going to go from good to knackered in just 2 weeks, surely?
