dxhall Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I received a set of rear wheel bearings a couple days ago which are marked "China." Anyone have any experience with these? Not what I expected from MG Cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwh20 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Just about any bearing you buy is going to be made in China. There is nothing inherently wrong with Chinese bearings, some (mostly name brand) are high-quality. Others are junk. Hoping that MG sent you the good kind.

Craig Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 We are getting near the point with China that we reached with Japan in the late nineteen-seventies. Mid-to early seventies "Made in Japan" was still a joke that connoted low quality. Ten more years and I think we will feel the same way about Chinese industrial products.

GuzziMoto Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Maybe, but right now if I have a choice between two parts, one is made in China and the other is made pretty much anywhere else, I would pick the non-Chinese part. Sure some stuff made by non-Chinese companies that is made in China is good. But much of what is made in China is less than good. They have a long way to go and I am not sure they will get there. Japan has a much different culture. You know you can get bearings pretty much anywhere, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Why for Pete's sake buy bearings from MG? V11 wheel bearings are very common sizes. You can order/buy them at every automotive store for a lot less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Roy Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 A spreadsheet of the bearing sizes for each model would be handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Bearing sizes have all been mentioned in the 13 years this forum is online. A thorough search will get you all the info you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
