If you have are they any good, bought some on ebay discribed as fag or sfk for rear wheel, if they are total crap i'll dispute the seller, if they're ok i'll use them, i'll let you guys know if the seller is a con artist after his reply about them.

I've just bought wheel and steering head bearings off these people

http://www.bikebearings.co.uk/index.html

Very quick service and a good price, well pleased

They've got a real address, genuine bearing company.

Bought wheel bearings and fork seals from this site. Both excellent quality and fast delivery.

Mine?

The wheel bearings are Koyo and the steering head ones are SKF

I'm picky about engine bearings but wheel ones dont have a particularily hard life, Bike bearings are an established bearing factor with proper premises so hardly likely to be selling complete rubbish.

Thanks for the replies guys, fitted the wm1, s yesterday everything seems fine, it was an easy job so might think about replaceing them with skf next winter.
