Hold On

Does anyone stock Constantine`s Super Bearings or do they all come direct from Blacksea ?

I know Roger was going to start stocking them but don't know if he has or not. I've been getting them directly from Constantine. You can't go wrong there.

I keep Constantine's super bearings on my shelves, for my own convenience/use.
Constantine does not discount bearings to the trade, so stocking bearings for resale is impractical.
(Stocking and reselling parts at zero profit would be....stupid.)

Unless someone has a set they have decided not to use, I'm guessing you will have to buy them direct.

928 International makes really nice "stock style" bearings at a much "friendlier" price, plus also makes the rubber mounts for the counterweight (super important to put back in, in my humble opinion.) I stock and sell these pieces....Mark (owns 928 International) offers a percentage discount to the trade, making this possible to do.

I use these bearings probably 75% of the time. It will be a rare case where these bearings will not last as long as Constantine's bearings. Plus, the ability to re-install the counterweight is essential (again, in my humble opinion.)

(Note: Even when using Constantine's bearings, I re-install the counterweight. However the required pieces are not sold by Constantine and it up to the user to figure out how to do this essential part of the rebuild. Up to the point where Mark made the rubber pieces for the counterweight, I machined the counterweights to use the GTS style rubbers for the counterweight. I still do this, as a service, for people using Constantine's bearings.)
