Not exactly BUT avoid the cheapies on ebay. Had one & the front bearings self destructed in a month. Had it rebuilt but burnt out after a year. :(

My latest replacement was from Bongobits 18 months ago, its been as good as gold ever since - Worth spending the extra few quid on IMHO. (Alternative sources are also available, including the Club Shop.)
