From memory i paid $11 per bearing for NSK 6902-2rs. SKF were marginally more, but they had none in stock and i cbf waiting. I did make the mistake of using cheapass chinese bearings in a wheel once and they lasted about 3 weeks before getting notchy, they were $8/each. Dont let the retard working at the bearing shop tell you "they're exactly the same"
I was just going to spend $28 on one from eBay... Should get the 240 star ratchet type tool for the roadie, although its bearings are still fine.
I have the ebay ones. Work fine. I found It's easier putting the tool in the vice and using the wheel as leverage to undo than trying to swing off a spanner.
I have several spares if you need one.
Spare tools? Yeah, I'll need it eventually - so yes please, would grab one off you
I got all the bearings I needed for an old Reign X frame from the bearing shop. Total cost = $50. Bike shop quoted me $340 for Giant kit which included bolt hardware.
If you're running 1x with coffee table-sized cassettes it's the only way you're going to get the drive ring out of the hub, won't get enough leverage any other way. Even worse if it's from an e-bike.

you really want full compliment bearings for linkages though, tiny amounts of rotation, lots of dynamic loads.
I'll see how these ones go for now. For what is essentially a consumable part, I was happy to pay 15% of the asking price on an old 26er.
