Yeah my B4 is kitted out with these and i must say they are quieter than the normal rubber sealed ones, well worth the extra cash ;D

Why bother with all these fancy bearings when you can pop into your local fishing shop (yes fishing shop) order very high quality bearings for a fraction of the price you will pay elsewhere and of a much higher quality.

fishing shop eh...
these 'fancy' bearings are cheaper than the standard associated ones :P

[mark34]

Not joking on the fishing shop they order bearings all the time for fishing reels and they are of a very high quality and cheap as well.

roughly how much for a whole set?

[Stew Noble]

i assume the fissing bearings are only metal shielded???

In answer to the other question yes they are only metal sheilded. However it is a proven fact that they are better than rubber sheilded as the metal shield does not touch the race whereas the rubber shields do have some contact with the internal race thus adding some friction
Kind regards

I run them in mine they are very smooth and relativly cheap for the kit but will not be as free as unshield or metal sheilded bearing it all depends on how much maintenace you want to do ...
