Re: Swivel hubs?
Indian made bearings!!! Personally I won't use them. I rebuild a lot of Lambrettas and cos they were also built in India there are a lot of bearings coming in from India and some are absolute shite. Personally I only use European or Japanese manufactured bearings. There may be some decent Indian bearings out there but I havn't found them yet.

What's the cost of genuine ones? I only use Blueprint / Genuine parts, so far so good!

Re: Swivel hubs?
tbh I'm using indian made kingpin bearings bashing the shit out of them on rocks and they've lasted about a year... same as blueprint ones lasted me in the UK

Re: Swivel hubs?
some blueprint bearings are better than others.....their UJs are junk
I only ever use timken or koyo for kingpins
