....Boca bearings are the same quality as the rest of the bearings on this Planet. It seems to me you have some kind of false flag issue that you want to push on everyone.
Never underestimate the loyalty of a happy customer.
Paul goes out of his way to provide a good product at tremendous price and he backs it up with first-rate service.
By comparison, Bocca have a good product but rely far too heavily (IMHO) on establishing a strong brand-awareness in preference to offering competitive pricing and good customer support.
I know where I buy my bearings I go for value and service *every* time. The pretty logo-emblazoned plastic bags that Boca's bearings come in don't seem to help my wallet or my engine's performance one little bit.
But it's a free world and to each their own.
