Both BOWER&RBC&SKF NO LONGER make the wound journal roller bearings : B1225, OA1565 A1444, J662456, BOWER used to have them made in Mexico &then china,
I was told by our (Australian) BOWER importer that BOWER DON'T make ANY of what i call/term "fast moving" wound journal roller bearings for both the rear axle/hub/wheel&transmission bearings i'm not 100% certain/sure whether or not RBC still manufactuer these kind/type of roller bearings, our Australian RBC importers DON'T import nor sell the fast moving/popular rear wheel/transmission wound journal roller bearings here in Australia we have to buy either N.O.S. Baltzer , BOWER, HYATT/RBC or we often/sometimes get boxed 'MADE IN USA" but made in china i assume&think that Synders are made in either china or india as no USA bearing company will make them..... sigh.
