I would look into a tapered bearing carrier from rpm or rad. Those bearings last forever.

I replaced my bearing carrier in my old 300ex twice. The first one i bought was a cheap one off of ebay. It blew in about six months! the second one i bought was a Lonestar I never got to ride on it before i sold it, but the put puting around i did i thought it was a good carrier way better than the cheapo! go for lsr u can get em kinda cheap off of ebay.

The tapered carrier is.

From RPM's site:

"RPM as the originator of the tapered roller bearing system axle carrier, CNC machines each carrier from billet 6061 aluminum. By installing tapered roller bearings, that are load rated at 8000 lbs. of side load versus the stock single-row bearings that have a side load rating of 500 lbs., you get a bearing that is 16 times stronger than stock unit. This allows the carrier to spin your axle on the strongest bearings available, and our tapered bearings are serviceable, unlike regular ball bearings. Also, remember that this high-tech tapered bearing system is also used in our Cyclone wheel hubs.

The MILLENNIUM is 25% lighter than it's leading competitor, reducing unsprung weight, and comes with a 3 year warranty. The Honda MILLENNIUM comes complete with a brake stay arm, and you can even adjust the bearing load as it wears to increase bearing life. Top racers including Doug Eichner, Tim Farr, John Stallworth, and Travis Spader use and endorse the MILLENNIUM."

Only downfall is you lose a little bit of chain adjustment, but I found its nothing that caused a problem for me. I'm glad I purchased the tapered carrier.

any carrier is good just make sure it has the grease zerk in it. but like the rpm, if there are other bearing setups like the tapered or millelium, the i would get the better one

i like the lsr twin row because its low maintence nice and has a grease zerk


the tapered are the best if u dont mind keepin up on the adjustment, its like adjusting your chain once in awhile same kinda schedule
