I can second this too. I did found another cheap source for good ball
bearings that I like to share here - especially for smaller ones. RC
cars! Visit a shop for RC racing car models. You will be surprized how
cheap replacement set's of ballbearings are! Definately in the same
league - if not sometimes even cheaper than skateboard bearings.
