Can't tell you much about the bearings cos it's dark outside now, but I've just recently taken posession of a shiny new Admiral R1000... and very pleased I am too.
Some nice little touches like a key lockable hitch; sturdy jockey wheel mounting; two speed winch and a winch brake. All nicely bolted together and galvanised as well. Not bad value either, but buy it through Jono Garton as he does a better deal than going direct
