Am going to be putting in new wheel bearings all around (removing old so that hubs can be powdercoated) and in looking around, find a great range of prices. If I go to Mikes, the total set of 2 bearings and 2 seals is $39. Same thing from TC Bros is $27, and on eBay as low as $16 for the "same" kit.... And the rear wheel set is much the same.
The bike started out as a non-running '80 Special II, and we are going for the tracker/dirt road bomber look, for back roads of Vermont and New England.
Is there really that much difference in quality? Anybody have any experience on which ones NOT to use?
Looking for advice, suggestions, opinions....'s all ok and I listen well...!
