Wheel Bearings

I'm going to change my bearings on my wheels as I refurbish them.
Can anyone recommend which ones?

I've been looking at Koyo sealed bearings, I think these will fit "Koyo 6301RS 12x37x12"

Works out £21.84 for 4 including delivery, which I think is competitive.

But will they fit or is there a better bearing for the price?

Don't know about the fitting, but Koyo is a good brand.

Re: Wheel Bearings
The Chinese ones will be £1 to £2...... some OK some not so good
I used some (£1.05 each) and they are good enough for a low speed st-70 wheel
I used 6301 2rs (2rs means 2x rubber seal) i.e. fully sealed.
Due to being quick and simple to replace I thought I would try them and see.....so far been OK, tolerances are good, fairly smooth and quiet running (+1000miles)
