I've just stripped the bearings from my 2012 Anthem, as one had seized and a couple were getting notch. But what are the best option for replacing them? Can I get any sealed bearings or are some makes better than others?
A simple question, but I suspect that the answers won't be :-)
Cheers.

    No they aren't. There are cheap, nasty bearings with crap seals. Then there's stuff with far better seals and lubrication, I prefer Koyo.
    Enduro bearings are best for frames, their full compliment design is much better for part turn use. They have a lot more balls than a standard bearing.
