Don't. Just get a reputable brand of steel bearings from a bearing factor, not a bike shop. I like SKF, but if you search my comment stream for SKF you'll find all the other decent brands mentioned. I'm actually using SKF E2 bearings in my race wheels for the marginal lolz. No seal drag and low friction cages, but it's tenths of a Watt at cycling speeds and you wouldn't want to use them routinely in wet conditions.

These ones? Well... the cost of fancy bearings is pretty much what I was expecting to pay for regular bearings.
If they save me the 16seconds I was missing last night then it'll all be worth it.
p.s. Four4th have finally got their crappy bracket back in stock so one is now on it's way to me so I'll be asking for your address once it arrives 😀.

@mdcc_tester I need to replace the bearings in my HED3. The current bearings are marked as “rollway 6001 RSR”.
Looking on bike websites, there seem to be lots of 6001.rs, or 6001.2rs available, and these all seem to have the same dimensions (12x28x8). Do these different codes indicate important differences between these bearings and which bearings do I need? I might even be tempted by tarty ceramics if I can figure it out.
