Well, I, for one, am sorry you've had this happen.
It seems contrary to pretty much everyone else's experience.
I monitor this forum and several F6B forums.
And I definitely wouldn't say that the Honda reputation is "fake" - they make high quality stuff.

Going forward:
I would definitely use All Balls tapered bearings to replace the current ones - so much smoother.
They are "wearable" items, like tires, so not covered under warranty - I understand that. Now, failing at 13k? That's odd.

Again, sorry that happened, I guess the statistics are not on your side right now.
Best of luck,
Steve
