Need some 6902 bearings for Easton R4 rear hub.

Good news is they seem to be widely available as used for a number of wheels and hubs, less good is the wide range of offerings and prices from £3-50.

Is there a harmonious Venn mid-point where price, quality, durability meet?

NTN bearings I've heard are good, from a reliable source. Reasonable too.

fag are also recommended

Yep, skf, fag and some others are more than adequate. Do not be tempted by eBay listings etc as fakes are rife. Simplybearings are legit.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
