sometimes i have good luck with the $1 bearings. but usually dont last more than 1/2 gallon. ive ordered a dozen TKO $1 bearings instead of the $avids. so we'll see if there's a noticeable difference.
but regarding the HD bell, i was just curious if it was worth the extra $3-4. i wonder if my camera phone has a good macro, or else i'll have to wait till i get home. im just curious about my mesh wear. there's some serious grooves in my teeth. if the standard bell is going to wear the same, or others arent noticing a difference, might as well get the cheaper bell.
are the metals harder? or is the HD bell just heat treated?
well the robinson bell is harded steel but they are a lot better than the hd cluch bell for sure.
the problem is with the standard clutch bell is they cant really take alum shoes that long before they have grooves inside.
i run tko cluch beaings with the blue and black seal they lasted about a 1/2 gallon .
i hate $1 bearings .
