Default Rear Wheel Bearings Recommendations

I was hoping I could just buy some. Until I read the posts;-



''SNR bearing has been removed from the packaging, and a different one put back in it's place FAG''


Does anyone have LINK; to a decent set of bearings not made of plasticine?


Thanks

I just bought one from DRMGS, seems to be of good quality.

I believe SNR and FAG to be reputable, just bought mine from ebay, no idea what the make is, around 30 quid.

There's nothing wrong with F.A.G. bearings.---

FAG bearings are made by Schaeffler, the same company that produces LUK clutches.

I know there are a few opinions on the quality of LUK clutches for various applications, but I personally believe that FAG bearings are of good quality.

We've tried a good few over the years, and have settled for these - they're made in Germany and seem to be very reliable:
