Just bought a set of All Balls wheel bearings for the Triumph Trophy 1200
I didn't realize they were manufactured by KML.Has anyone had any issues with them I wouldn't normally buy Chinese as the Triumph is a big old girl and there a pig to change.

If you google kml they seem a big enough company who supply world wide, you dont get that big by being no good, however go back a few years and chinese bearings were a big no no, i have often looked at the all balls stuff and wondered how they always seem to be the cheapest now i know

Years ago I was offered a Chinese 125. It was a Himo or somesuch
I didn't expect much from it but I thought it would be good enough for my sis to pass her test I was wrong.
Straight out of the crate and almost straight into the scrapyard.
I had to discard the wheel bearings,Starter selanoid front and rear brake shoes as they were total crap from the start.
Weirdly the engine run incredably well.

It was a CG clone

I hope there ok I've used them on mine for wheels and steering .

I thought they were made in the USA!
Every days a school day!

There only packaged in the USA so that gives them the right to print it on the pack.

I've had a Chinese bike for 10 years.
The quality coming out of the country ranges from knackered on arrival to as good as anything made anywhere else. You can't always rely on the brand as they even copy chinese ones, and some make reliable domestic market models as well as cheap export trash.
It seems to be a bit of a lottery.
