Performance details

Bearing Vibration

Measuring vibration is an effective method of ascertaining how well a bearing is manufactured. High-frequency vibration levels, often called spike energy, detect minute microscopic flaws in rolling element bearings. The results below show a typical wheel bearing after 4000km of use. Lower values indicate a superior life and reduced losses from friction losses.

Genuine Bearings, Counterfeits and B Grade

This is a 100% Genuine NTN Bearing. It has been sourced directly from NTN Europe in Annecy, France. It is not B graded, counterfeit or an NTN labelled product from a third party. You can read more about this in the article Counterfeit NTN and SKF Bearings

There have been widespread reports of counterfeit and substandard (B Grade) bearings being sold to unsuspecting customers in the media. Using these items often results in diminished performance, reduced life and sometimes injury to personnel.

Genuine NTN vs Other NTN

The pictures below show two NTN Bearings, the bearing on the left is from Hambini via NTN in France, and the one on the right was purchased from a well-known UK bicycle bearing distributor; they claimed to have sourced their bearings from NTN. From the outside, they both look to be identical, and the packaging that they came in appeared to be identical. Further inspection of the bearings revealed largely similar seals that would be indiscernible to the average consumer. However, upon disassembly, several discrepancies were noted; the most obvious was the 40% higher ball count on the Hambini supplied bearing. Additionally, the Hambini supplied NTN bearing had a riveted metal cage, the distributor's bearing was folded sheet metal. Folded metal cages have considerably poorer load and stiffness ratings. The distributor bearing had failed after only 600km, a root cause investigation was conducted, and the bearings were found to be of dubious quality with an unverifiable supply chain.

  1. Stephen Cottle –

    The bearings were posted and delivered very quickly when they came in stock. Indeed I could not find any alternative UK suppliers with stock and the price was very competitive. I very much appreciated the advice on the best bearings for bb30. Thanks

  3. Martyn L. –

    Installed in my Cannondale Topstone Carbon. I now have a super smooth crank and no creaking so very pleased. Only slight criticism would be the postage was a bit expensive but very quick so I can put up with that. Many thanks

  4. Jeremy Leake –

  13. Barry Scully –

    I love that you are selling gear that is properly engineered and not hyped by marketing. Quality bearings and more importantly, genuine not fakes

  14. James –

  15. Adrian –

    Very prompt delivery. Bearings appear to be very smooth.

  16. Gavin N. –

    good reliably sourced bearing. Didn’t help getting me to know my hairdresser

  17. Richard Smith –

    Bearings arrived quick and can’t fault the quality. Was worried the full contacting seal might feel a bit draggy, but actually on the road don’t notice a difference. Looking forward to having bearings that won’t rust in 7 months like the old FSA ones!

Q & A

I bought a pair of "NTN 6806 LLU 30x42x7 Fully Contacting Seal BB30" I compared them with the old bearings in a cyclocross frame (for competition) and a pair of new unused and unassembled "regular BB30 bike bearings" from a bike shop. When turning the bearings in the hand the "NTN 6806 LLU 30x42x7 Fully Contacting Seal BB30" seem to have a MUCH higher resistance than cheaper regular bearings. -How do you measure bearing resistance in a competition? -Do the NTN bearings need a breaking in period to become smoother turning? -Is the advantage in friction or cycling speed or is the advantage of the NTN bearings or is the advantage pure in other aspects (which)?
