Sorry, but this is BS. Several renowed bearing manufactures have facilities in India (and China and ....) which produce these bearings to their very high quality standards just like all their other facilities do. Simply avoid un-qc'ed noname bearings regardless of their stated country of origin.

B.Rad said:2. internal bearing clearences. my information says thet Normal clearence is the correct one. however there seems to be a tendency to go for C3, greater than normal clearence. As the difference is only a few microns, is there really any practical difference that affects the life or performance of these bearings.
Can some tech guru please enlighten me on these subjects. I am after some hard facts here please, either technical explanations or experience based anecdotes.

dynodave said:I'm not the expert but: If you read the application note from a/any bearing manufacturer you will see the bearings are NOT meant to be mounted in an aluminum housing....therefore the C'3 clearance is called for. The extra clearance disappears due to the extra shrink fit in an aluminum housing (has nothing to do with the crank)...You will note the comment of "nipping up" with a nominal clearance bearing.
