Find the Bicycle Bearing You Need

Bicycle bearings are a crucial component for proper functioning and a smooth, fluid, and fast ride. With the right bearings and proper maintenance, you can avoid strange noises and potential breakdowns. Quality bottom bracket bearings, wheel bearings, and hub bearings will help improve pedaling efficiency and overall performance. Meanwhile, quality headset and fork bearings will ensure maximum comfort and control when riding.

Types of Bicycle Bearings

Within the "Eltin Workshop Series," you can find high-quality, long-lasting bearings. These bicycle bearings offer a great balance between load resistance, durability, and smooth performance. Each product page provides the specifications for each bearing; however, it's important to understand the meaning of their names:

• LLB Bearing: Features a contact seal between two lips, offering excellent dust resistance.

• LLU Bearing: Features a full-contact seal between two lips, providing excellent waterproofing and water resistance.

• RS and 2RS Bearings: Have a rubber seal on one or both sides, offering good dust and moisture resistance.

• SRS Bearing: Features a metal shield instead of rubber, allowing for easier maintenance.

When you see MAX on a bearing, it indicates a 35% higher load resistance, making it ideal for high-wear components like rear suspension pivots, bottom brackets, or any other parts subject to more strain.

Additionally, ceramic bicycle bearings are the latest innovation, offering very high wear resistance. Over time, these bearings improve their performance by polishing the races and increasing movement smoothness.
