Iv Got a new one of these kicking about, it's going on a st5/6 225, prob won't be doing mega miles but I obviously don't want it to fail!, has anyone got any experience of these good or bad
Cheers....

JBL were OEM supplier to SIL along with NBC I use them in all my builds from standard LI 150 to TS1 - Never had an issue - good fit and no issues on my decent mileage TS1s.
I started using them years ago when they were the only ones you get (no casa, RIV, racetour etc.......which have had issues I believe) so I have no reason to change.
I always have a complete set of bearings spare on the shelf and a JBL rear hub and main drive are always part of it.
Again do we really the super duper ultra performance part ???
As always this is my personal opinion based on my experience and others may disagree...........

Cheers gaz!, I thought it was prob Indian but didn't know if it was a factory fit or dodgy backstreet copy... Think I got it in a complete bearing set once, I usually reuse old orig Italian riv ones (after checking there ok!) but my stash of those has finally run out
Cheers...
