There will ultimately be an option within the listing to purchase a full set of Enduro Bearings.
This is due to some custom bearings used on frames which only Enduro produce. The bearings supplied will usually be ALL our own 'Kinetic Bearings', although occasionally contain a mixture of our own and Enduro Bearings. We buy from suppliers that also produce and supply to many highly regarded premium bicycle brands. We supply 100's of bicycle trade customers directly as our bearings are the same as many bearings fitted to bikes at factory level (Original Equipment). You can be rest assured that our bearings are of fantastic quality and produced specifically for bicycle application.
Suppliers that do not mention the ABEC rating, it could be safe to assume are supplying inferior/cheap/unrated or low rated bearings. Kinetic in almost every case supplies ABEC 3 rated bearings. Higher end bearings for bikes are usually ABEC 3. The ABEC rating for bearings commences at ABEC 1 which is seen in most bearing applications for bicycles supplied from the factory. The precision quality of bearings are rated by the ABEC scale. The seals are usually 2 high quality rubber seals, which is where the 2RS is derived from. The bearings (Kinetic's own and also Enduro) will be filled with the correct volume of high-performance water resistant marine grease to prolong the life of your bearing. Note, standard wheel bearings have a metal or nylon retainer with gaps in between, which is perfect for wheels/BB's where full rotation occurs. Non-MAX bearings are usually cheaper too. If a supplier selling frame pivot bearings fails to mention they supply MAX complement, it's very probable they are bearings that contain retainers and therefore cannot withstand higher loads often experienced in suspension frames. To achieve this, the races are fully loaded with balls to ensure that the load passes through actual balls and not gaps. A Frame Pivot Bearing experiences only a minor degree of movement concentrated in a small area, thus strength across the axis of load is of the utmost importance. Max type bearings can take a much higher load as they have 40% more balls than standard wheel bearings. Max Complement (Also known as Full Complement)Īt Kinetic we only supply Max Complement bearings for frame suspension pivots. Grease: Mobil XHP222 or Sinopec HTHS (High Specification Water Resistant Grease) Material: 100CR6 Chrome Steel for balls and races No other hardware such as nuts, bolts, washers will be supplied.Īny pictures indicated in this listing is for reference to the year/design of frame in question.Ĭonfiguration: MAX Complement (Fully loaded with ball bearings - no cage/retainer present) IMPORTANT: This listing is for a full set of Frame Pivot Bearings only.
