All Balls Racing

Hi all

What are everyone’s thoughts/experience with All Balls Racing parts?

Reason I ask is they are readily available here in Australia.

Oh man... All Balls products has turned into a oil or tire discussion.

I use their steering head bearings no problem. I also did a full fork rebuild on the RC26 eight years ago as an experiment using their bushings and seals with ZERO issues to date.

Wheels... I kit higher quality bearings thru eBay with dust seals at pennies to the dollar thru a seal distributor where I get my o-rings.

Let the normal shit talk begin!!!!

 

I have had nothing but good experience with them …

I'd say let's just bust out the folding chairs and have a battle.

My experience--I've used their fork seal kits on 6 or so different bikes and have had no issues (had issues with even cheaper alternatives though). I've installed wheel bearing bearing kits on SV wheels, 1 on a VF, and 1 on the VFR. The SV's are fine--VF/VFR don't have enough miles to really say anything about longevity.

I used their steering bearing kit on my VF. Again, not enough miles to really comment on longevity or quality.

One thing I can say though--they're petcock rebuild kits are absolute dogshit in the two that I've used for other bikes.

 

Any alternatives for the Petcock kit?

Good experience so far with caliper rebuild kit and steering head bearings.

 

See if K&L or Bikemaster make anything and are "available" in your area. Typically good stuff.

 

They've never let me down, love their products. Sometimes you can get lucky and find O ring specs and order them cheaper, but if i need a bunch of junk in a pack all balls does it right. Carb kids, fork seals, wheel bearings, mostly made all in the same factories, the only difference is the quality control when they're packing it up for you. All balls seems to check what goes into packages well enough to where i don't have issues with it.

 

id never use them for wheel bearings, too dangerous if they fail. if you want to put low-priced garbage on your bike to save money, its on you. allballs sources bearings at the lowest price, not the best quality.

high quality bearings are made in japan, usa, germany, and sweden ONLY, not china, india, turkey or someplace else.

typically, half-priced crap lasts half as long.

 

K&L are not what the once were.
