Bottom bracket (BBs) Bearings for replacement and upgrade for a wide range of BBs out there
Bottom Bracket Bearings – Precision Performance for Every Ride
Bottom bracket bearings play a crucial role at the heart of every bicycle drivetrain. Positioned within the bearing bottom bracket assembly, they allow the crankset to rotate smoothly while transferring power efficiently from rider to drivetrain. At Bearing King, we supply a comprehensive range of bottom bracket bearings designed for replacement, upgrades, and performance optimisation across a wide variety of bicycle types and riding disciplines.
Whether you are maintaining a daily commuter bike, upgrading a high-performance road setup, or servicing a mountain or gravel bike exposed to demanding conditions, the quality of your bottom bracket bearings directly affects pedalling efficiency, durability, and overall ride feel.
Designed for the Complexity of Modern Bottom Bracket Standards
Modern bicycles feature a wide range of bottom bracket standards, including threaded, press-fit, BB30, PF30, BB86, BB92, and many others. While the standards themselves can appear complex, the good news is that most systems rely on just a handful of bearing sizes. Bearing King specialises in supplying precisely engineered bearings that are compatible with these systems, making replacements and upgrades straightforward and reliable.
Our collection of sealed bottom bracket bearings is engineered to fit seamlessly into existing bearing bottom bracket housings, ensuring accurate alignment, smooth rotation, and long service life.
Performance Levels to Match Every Rider
Bearing King offers bottom bracket bearings across multiple performance tiers, allowing riders to select the ideal balance between durability, efficiency, and cost.
-
ABEC-3 and ABEC-5 bearings
Manufactured using high-chromium steel balls and races, these bearings deliver excellent smoothness and reliability for everyday riding, training bikes, and regular maintenance cycles. -
440C Stainless Steel Bearings
For riders who frequently encounter wet, muddy, or corrosive environments, stainless steel options provide superior resistance to rust while maintaining consistent performance. These are particularly popular in endurance riding, winter training, and off-road applications. -
Ceramic and XD-15 Bearings
At the top end of the range, ceramic bottom bracket bearings and XD-15 ceramic-hybrid options offer minimal rolling resistance, exceptional hardness, and extreme longevity. These bearings are ideal for competitive cyclists seeking marginal gains, smoother pedalling, and reduced energy loss under load.
Bearing King’s premium bkl bottom bracket bearings are engineered to deliver long-term performance, often backed by lifetime guarantees for riders who demand the very best.
Enduro Bottom Bracket Bearings for Proven Reliability
We also supply Enduro bottom bracket bearings, a trusted choice among professional mechanics and experienced cyclists. Known for their robust construction and precision tolerances, Enduro bearings are designed to withstand high loads, lateral forces, and harsh riding conditions while maintaining consistent smoothness over time.
Combined with advanced sealing systems, these bearings offer outstanding contamination resistance, helping to keep dirt, water, and grit away from the internal races.
Advanced Sealing for Maximum Protection
All Bearing King bottom bracket bearings are available with advanced sealing solutions. Our sealed bottom bracket bearings use multi-lip seals and low-friction designs to protect against environmental ingress without compromising efficiency. This makes them particularly suitable for UK riding conditions, where rain, road spray, and trail debris are common year-round challenges.
