By Bearing Application / Use

Bicycle bearing applications and their corresponding types of bearings:

• Wheel Hubs: Bicycle wheel hubs require ball bearings that can withstand high radial loads and axial loads. Common types of bearings used in wheel hubs include sealed cartridge bearings and loose ball bearings.
• Bottom Brackets: Bottom bracket bearings are used to support the crankset and transfer power to the rear wheel. Common types of bottom bracket bearings include cartridge bearings and angular contact bearings.
• Headsets: Headset bearings allow the handlebars to rotate smoothly. Common types of headset bearings include sealed cartridge bearings, loose ball bearings, and angular contact bearings.
• Pedals: Pedal bearings are used to support the pedal spindle and allow it to rotate smoothly. Common types of pedal bearings include sealed cartridge bearings and loose ball bearings.
• Suspension Systems: Bicycle suspension systems use a variety of bearings, including needle roller bearings, angular contact bearings, and sealed cartridge bearings. These bearings are used to support the suspension system and allow it to move smoothly.
