Counterfeit / Fake Bearings

We are pleased to spread the news about the World Bearing Association's Anti-Counterfeiting Committee. This committee has been formed to stop the production of counterfeit wheel bearings. This is primarily a issue when you purchase what you believe to be "brand name or USA made" bearings, and they are actually made in another country with low quality standards, primarily China. Because of the low quality they are manufactured with and the poor steel consistency, these bearings are prone to failing. Not only do they gouge your pocket because you now have to purchase a new bearing (again), but they also hurt the name of the companies that provide the legitimate high quality products. In addition, they can be a safety concern.
We provide only high quality bearings and we purchase directly from the manufacturers, eliminating the possibility of counterfeit bearings in our supply.
