You can buy a tube of 10 for 20 dollars at many bearing supply places.
Here's one.

In 07, as part of the ISIS standard, the axle size was increased 2
mm. They could have gone with a 2 mm larger OD bearing, and had a
standard, cheap size.
Instead, a uni company (I think qu-ax), said, "don't worry about it
guys, I will order a special batch of 22x 42 bearings, and sell you all
a bunch." And frame makers went that way, to avoid the cost of modding
their frame bearing holders to accept the larger 22x44 bearings.
However, you can't find a 22x42 bearing anywhere, except a uni parts
dealer. Hopefully, once the frame makers sell off their old stock, and
set up a new line, they will make them to except a 22x44 bearing.
Still, the 8$ cost UDC charges for a single 22x42 is not so bad.
Torker just likes to screw their customers. Their uni's come with
a custom bearing size unique to them, for no other reason then to
charge you $30/pair, for a set that should cost 4 $. Booo Torker !
