I've found that oftentimes mfgr's will outsource certain components in any number of situations. I've bought store brand or off-brand bearings that were actually Timken or SKF once I peeked in the box; awhile back, I bought what I thought were SKF hub assemblies (box said SKF) for my ti and when I opened them, the bearings were FAG brand (which are better, IMO).
