Front or rear bearings?

Rears are very weak... did mine every 50,000km or there abouts.

Fronts were still factory at 200,000km.

Hmmm now you are stretching my memory, been 4 years since I changed one.

Single. Tapered bearings around 2 inches in diameter.

Pretty cheap as well. Used to use a brand that started with the letter T. Grey are orange box?? Tenken or something?
