Ok I'm looking for an opinion on who makes the best bearings (carrier). Ive tried Moose and All Balls and they seem to wear out prematurely, even with proper care. Im kinda taking my time and shopping around. So if you guys know of a great product let me know. Thanks

any double row bearing is way stronger than stock and will last way longer

tapper bearings are the strongest set up but you lose some chain ajustment

make sure you pop off the bearing seal thats on the bearing and pack them with good greese before you even run them

I agree with the guys that posted so far. I bought a rad carrier with loaded bearings and seals for 135 from ebay. Factory blems, but i certainly could not tell what was wrong with it. Bearings are thick and beefy. Best money spent on my R so far. Pop it in and ride - no broken knuckles.:lol:

Other than that, i have also been through alot of bearings with the two strokes on the rocky trails up here. OEM might be your best bet if your just going for bearings/seals, since they seem to last a long while. Seems like every 22 year old trike i get has its original bearings in it for me to replace.
