Crank bearings

I couldn't find any other suppliers but think there has to be other companies who make them. What I don't like about Triumph bearings is they color code them vs. marking size on back of bearing shell, rods and mains alike. This caused me some anxious hours, as mine had lost the colors. Triumph bearings hold up well, I'm satisfied with their performance.

Never had the need to, and having spent quite some time working on Rocket cranks.
Triumph ones are like €9 for pins and €11 for mains, have no recollection of any issues with them ever so never saw the need to spend time looking & testing elsewhere.
Why do you ask?

thank you
Being in US I was looking for Federal Mogul or Clevite which I'm more familiar with, nothing against Triumph bearings. I have had good experiences with Triumph bearings and they perform well.
