I mean "2 big, 1 small". (You have to listen to
what I think, not what I type.) But it is
correct in the calculation so total remains 11.

The Torpedo 3 SP has 3 bearings as well,
2 big, 1 small, but it also has
a roller bearing.

The Shimano 3 SP seems to have 2 big bearings,
and 1 planet carrier, if that counts?

The Shimano casette freewheel seems to have
2 small bearings.

Indeed.

Does this (number of bearings) ever change save
for the rear hub?

If it doesn't, it would seem it is yet another
sign that the bike hasn't changed that much
thru the ages.

Yes, that's what it says: Pedals - 2

OK, now it should be correct:

rear hub 3
crank/BB 2
pedals 2*2=4
front wheel 2
fork + 2
------
13

Hey, maybe bikes aren't that simple after all?

Buy the cheaper pedals that have no bearings at all and you are down
to 9 bearings.
