measuring for replacement bike bearings

We believe that every component of your bike should give brilliant performance, which is why we stock such a large range of Enduro bearings. This often-overlooked component is essential to a smooth ride and so we have collated an extensive range of diameters and widths suitable for most bike models, with MAX, 2RS, E Type, Stainless Steel, Ceramic, and more in stock.

Plus, on our site you can shop by suitable MTB bearings, road bike bearings, and gravel bike bearings. However, that’s all of little use if you don’t know which bearings you need. So, find below our step by step guide to measuring bearings – with image references! These images use a Vernier caliper but a standard ruler will also get the job done.

Alternatively, your bearing code can be found on the seal or side of the bearing. However, these sometimes disappear with wear and tear, so ensure you take note of the bearing code when you receive one.
