What makes Timken bearings worth so much more than competitors? Any long time mechanics have any opinions on the value of paying more for Timken?

Solid. Dependable. Timken sets the standard in the industry. All others try to match it.

I have only used them on the front wheels but they are guaranteed I have replaced Chinese bearings that only got 19000 on them with Timken, bob

the bearing on my 4" idler was very noisy and the JD dealer wanted $33 for a new one. I replaced mine on my 42" deck with one from Amazon for $11. The new idler even had a JD sticker on it. Very pleased with it.

Good question, but timken themselves appear to offer one year from date of shipment. Ultimately though, warranty period is less important when you are buying the best product on the market.

The one I got appear to be a real Timken bearing. It has been in the truck for 2 years now.

This is a front steering hub bearing assembly. The rear axle bearings are completely different. I will say this, I'd been using cheap NAPA bearings in my front hubs which my truck would eat up yearly and I was constantly changing. Since I put in the Timken bearing I haven't had to change a front bearing.

Actually, the bearings are very good. The quality of the entire thing is good. My son rides it constantly & he's never had any problems with it.

The trucks are the best made for a high quality long board. The wheels are not at the America level of quality. All and all, you are paying for the trucks and getting the bearings and wheels for free. If you cannot afford to purchase the best, you can buy this now and upgrade the wheels and bearings later.

First of all Technics it is a great brand, but the reason why they turntable became so popular, is because during the ninety's weren't any other.I did a research on AT 1240 and I found more torque more features and calibrations, build in metal no plastic like Technics, the buttons are in ruber, and more important than any other thing, I found this turntable is very very popular among the dj's, and these guys treat very bad the turntables so if a turntable can last on the hands of them can last on mine, bottom line I am having this AT for several months and I very happy.

I'm not sure... I just got rid of my Trikke (couldn't sell it - actually gave it away). You really should test one first, if possible, to see if you like it. They're REALLY hard to ride. I didn't enjoy it. But, that's me. Good luck.

Are you asking the manufacturer if they'll sell separately? Because you could purchase it and use any rotor you want. But why? Centric builds quality parts, I've never had a set of rotors better than these. No fading or problems after 10,000 miles of use.

I am not an expert by any means, but I believe the ceramic rotates much smoother than the metal traditional bearings. Which in turn, gives you a better pedal experience. If I am right about this whole thing, the ceramic pulleys spin wonderfully (less friction) compared to the metal. Hope this helps. Hope I am right about this, but honestly, I could be wrong.

i believed i paid for $80 something for a pair, and most likely the price you paid for is for one. But there are cheaper one out there cost $20 something but remember are paying for what you get. My bro is a mechanic and he suggest buy the one around $40 is good enough and i bought a set of centric, they work fine, and smooth also no much rusty after a car wash or in rainy day. To be sure you should contact seller and ask question is the best way

I ordered everything for my son for Christmas and we just saw embed it today. Bigger wheels the better and bearings I went to k swiss 6 bearings as for bolts it depends on the spacers, but I went ahead and ordered the longer one just to cover my 6. And he LOVES it!

I think my kit came with the bearings. My mechanic didn't charge me for any extra parts. You should address with Exedy.

There isn't really a better or worse -- they are each designed completely differently, with different goals. Ceramics are indestructible, self-healing, and rust-proof. They're also the most expensive bearing Bones has. The 6 is purely a performance bearing. They're designed for acceleration and speed, nothing else. The guy who set the world record for skate speed did it using 6 ball bearings. If you want the fastest board around, get the 6. If you want the last set of bearings you'll ever buy, get the ceramics.
