I am mildly amused to see the substitution of asterisks in the thread title ... When the original text is displayed on the YouTube image. What a strange world of double-standards we live in. MichaelG. I edited the title before the video was embedded. I do try to keep the site family friendly where I can although I tend to put more care into keeping thread titles sane than minor infringements of taste in postings, also people of delicate constitution can choose not to read a thread with asterisks in the title.

658 forum posts 236 photos | I wonder if chinese brands ever have this sort of issue. Rather than unbranded bearings of chinese origin there are Mochu and Revolve on aliexpress/ebay along with other I forgot to add to my favourites bar. |

Neil Quite rightly, i don't think anyone can argue with that kind of action, although i myself have probably come close to the line sometimes in inferences. I wholly standby the family nature of an engineering forum and shall doubly increase my efforts to restrain my idiomatic tendencies.

Makes one wonder how the local peoples stuff in China runs, or runs for long. Cliche risk here. Most of what we use is made in China these days and there are some pretty good and reliable products amongst them. There's also a lot of downright tat. Of course, if you wanted to get rid of some worthless tat, you might use a channel like ebay to do so. I'm currently buying automotive quality bearings in China and as Ketan will tell you, there are some very good suppliers out there. |

![]() 260 forum posts 3 photos | I always buy branded bearings but I wouldn't know a counterfeit from a proprietary brand even after I took it out of the packaging unless is was that obvious. I once got caught buying a 'RHP' bearing for a Lister D rebuild - insisted on a branded product and paid the RHP price only to find it was supplied in a plain white cardboard box with a Dymo tape type lable with RHP on it! It did have RHP etched onto the race but I couldn't determine if it was genuine. Needless to say I didn't use it and I should have sent it back. I haven't been back to buy anything else from the supplier. Something about a fool and his money springs to mind - But I keep it as a reminder. 😳 |

>>>>> Snipped <<<<<< Bear in mind though that Industrial production is not a good indicator of a nation's per capita wealth. Neither is it indication of the quality of the manufacturing processes or the goods. As an example (off the top of my head) Sweden and Switzerland have great reputations for precision machining but they never made your list. 'Per capita wealth' depends a lot on where one lives and the local cost of living. * Danny M * |
