Steering bearings and parts

Steering bearings and parts - smooth and stable steering. Steering bearings are an important part of the wheel steering system, allowing the fork to move smoothly in the frame and ensuring stable steering. High-quality bearings and parts ensure a safe and comfortable riding experience. Types of steering bearings: Integrated bearings: These bearings fit directly into the frame and are commonly used on modern bikes for their lightness and simplicity. Semi-integrated (internal): The bearings are mounted in bearing housings in the frame, which are partially embedded. External bearings: A more traditional system where the bearing cups are located outside the frame. This is particularly suitable for mountain bikes where durability and protection are required. Key components: Bearing cups: Hold the bearings in place in the frame. Bearings: Enables smooth steering movement. Choice of sealed or open bearings, with sealed bearings providing better protection. Top cap and spacers: adjust the height of the handlebar and tighten the guide bearing. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and re-greasing, prevents wear and extends bearing life. Worn or loose guide bearings can cause squeaking and affect steering accuracy, so they should be replaced in a timely manner.
