I've gone through a few sets on bearings on my cross bike in a short period of time. They're Enduro 6806 LLB bearings and I'd like to get a bit more longevity out of a set. Can anyone recommend a manufacturer or different seal type that would last longer?
P.s. I clean my cross bike after every ride, thought I could probably be more thorough, though I also don't really ride it in really grotty conditions anymore.

Something like NTN? https://www.hambini.com/product-category/bearings/ntn-bearings/0

SKF / Schaeffler (FAG) / NSK / NTN bearings with seals. Basically you want high quality bearings from one the world's largest bearing manufacturers.
Where I work when bearings are involved we spec the bearing size and manufacturer so you get decent bearings, not cheap rubbish that fails quickly.0
