Title: Ballraces
Post by: wink on April 27, 2013, 02:59:40 PM

I´ve got a lot of new old stock ball bearings for older British bikes, some still in the boxes greased, others were originally wrapped in a roll of 10 and we´ve only used a few off the roll. How would you feel about using 40 yearold British parts as against new Chinese ones, although some sizes will not be made now we´ve gone Metric?  PS, We had 10 inches of rain here thursday which is why I´m not in my shed.

Jesus! 10 inches in one day, that's some deluge.

I'd use them no problem, just as long as they were stored in the proper original packaging like grease-proof paper etc. Quality stuff.
