Good online source for bearings?

jonesing4wind - 5-2-2006 at 08:11 PM

I just picked up a full set of wheel bearings for a Libre. Now they are sealed and are a good brand (SKF) but they set me back about $60. Are there any good online retailers that carry sealed bearings in metric sizes?

Thanks!!

$60 is less than I paid for a set (front and rear wheels) for SKF's. They've lasted way longer than than the factory installed cheapos that were in there. The edges are looking ratty after 1 year and exposed to salt water. But they still run smooth.

Ebay also has the cheapos, if you don't mind replacing them once or twice a year.
