RESISTANCE, PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Despite not being visible, the bearings are a fundamental component for the proper functioning of the bicycle, since the performance of the bicycle depends largely on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They are found in different key parts: in the headset, wheel hubs, bottom bracket, suspension pivots \u2026 and their function is to allow the turning movement between two unit parts by rolling, unlike friction bushings that they do so by displacement of the contact surfaces. This allows a smoother turn with less friction, being able to turn at a higher speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These characteristics mean that we find different types of bearings for the different rolling points that we can have on the bicycle since the functional requirements are quite different: high speed in the wheel hubs, high loads capacities and slow speed in the joints of the suspension pivot frame system, angular contact bearings for headset \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At ISB Sport we have developed a range of products that covers the needs of both the location of the bearings and the application to which they are intended (MTB, road bikes \u2026)<\/span><\/p>\n

STEEL BEARINGS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Steel bearings are the most common in bicycles as they are very durable as long as proper cleaning and good lubrication are maintained. They have steel balls located radially inside the rings or raceways. They are really very effective, and significantly decrease friction when rolling compared to other systems such as bushings.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of ISB steel bearings, the tests carried out show that the use of superior quality materials in these bearings makes their average life (in equal load conditions and speed than standard) is up to 1.5 times higher than standard.<\/span><\/p>\n
