Obviously there is a need for a lower priced option in the market and Pelican has moved to fill it. This sort of thing happens every day in the real world whether people talk about it in a forum or not.

So you are sensitive to the issue because of a bad experience you had with your own product. Personally it pisses me off when Walmart and Eckerds sell photos for $0.11 each. I only lost seven figures on that market change. Free markets don't give a crap and customers have no loyalty at all. It is just the way it is.

Personally, if my M96 had lasted, I would have thrown the cheapest bearing in with every clutch and considered it akin to changing the belts on an overhead cam interference engine; cheap insurance. Land, I lost my entire career based on some of those same principles and never had seven figures in play, it's all perspective. I can assure every one of you on here being physically able to live independently is the greatest gift you are enjoying today, no bank account or indestructible bearing will change that fact.

Politics, religion and IMS bearings... The pelican part looks like a good deal, I wonder how many of those have failed. I need to read up on it, is it just the stock bearing?
