You might be able to answer a question that has been on my mind for a while. Is it worth investing in high quality bearings for the hubs? Like Boca Orange seal.

I just wonder if the hub bearings cop such a load, that the high quality ones will fail, if it is better to buy average bearing and replace them more frequently. Will high quality bearing last longer?

Cheers

Your not fitting them correctly, something is damaged somewhere else causing undue loads on them or They're really bad Quality.

I sell bearings for a living of every type and description you can think of and in my life only the first 2 apply. I don't sell cheap bearings

I would check everything really well, maybe the hubs have worn and this is causing them to sit wrong and this then is leading to premature failure...
