How to Choose the Right Bearing
We have a large stock of Enduro bearings for MTB, road and gravel bikes designed with various types of bike applications in mind. If you need some guidance on which of our vast collection is the right match for your bike, we recommend comparing the different features of each bearing and how it relates to both your cycling style and your specific bike.
ABEC3
It is important to note there are different grades of bearing. The ABEC3 are entry level bearings that are twice as round as the industry standard: high-precision Grade 10 Balls are ground within 10/1,000,000″ round. Another key feature is the riveted steel bearing retainers built for rigidity that have been noise tested. We are proud to present Enduro bearings as they are comprised of the highest quality 52100 High Carbon Chromium Steel Alloy race Japanese material.
ABEC5
We have lots of ABEC 5’s in stock for all your winter maintenance check needs. A big benefit to your bike is the LLU/LLB seals’ use of dual technology that is built for such benefits as added water protection and improved sealing. Likewise, the new Mobil XHP 222 grease type has been shown to provide protection against rain, dirt, muck, snow, and ice which is particularly pertinent for Autumn/Winter cycling. Lower temperatures must be considered when choosing your bearings, but sand and warm weather protection has been tested too.
If you’re looking for suspension pivots, Enduro MAX type bearings have been specifically designed to tackle the issues associated with mountain bike bearings. In the bespoke design, the maximum number of balls are inserted into the bearing and the race grooves are deeper to boost the support for the twists that come with mountain bike pivots.
These aren’t the only way we use the grease types: Angular Contact MAX type bearings come in both greaseable and sealed types and our MAX BO bearings have even more resistance to rust. As you have gathered, we only stock the best quality bearings that will empower your rides.
