I just want to make sure they've actually used the better bearings if I pay for them. I wondered if they looked different.

I think the front wheel bearings say "Japan" "EZO" "609 RU" which would tally with this ebay listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/609-2RU-EZO-Deep-Groove-Ball-Bearing-Single-Row-/181992554536?hash=item2a5f9a0028:g:wsoAAOSwa-dWmRKc
9mm inner diam. sounds promising. Is there any reason to doubt these would be suitable replacement bearings for my front wheel? @mdcc_tester
Oh, any UK dealers for these?
hippy
That's bearing cost only. Would I be able to ID the better bearings, visually? Would they last longer?
The cost of bearings is almost irrelevant given the hassle of sending the wheel off...
