Gas Mag did a shoot on the SX today... was fun, just bummed they didn't organize a track so I couldn't get any action shots, but the SX and even the current SR is a beasty combo I LOVE IT, cant wait for the Rezlo spec'd SR .. anyway this was the most exciting action caught on film today ha ha.

So playing with the camber tonight I notice some looseness... seems as though both my front hubs need new bearings :(

Anyone know where to get bearings.. or is it still a better plan just to get complete new Ichiba Hubs?

New hubs - you don't want an engineering place to do a bodge job on new OEM bearings.

Ichiba is good, I have also looked at Contano - they are cheaper but all of the reviews I have read are good, with no serious issues reported yet in terms of reliability or quality.
