craigjames Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 i know youve ordered one already. but next time you do need a new one, consider the skf bfr range. fantastically made, great quality, strong and stiff and witha reputation for making quality bearings. german, nuff said.mines been great just ordered one for rich pearson, see if he can break it!

N.Wood Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 That was my second choice I tend to not break stuff, so hopefully the Truvativ will hold up well.Cheers for the reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
