Product details:
These custom, Swiss made bearings are double sealed, fully serviceable and removable which give much greater life span than stock units. The bearings are made (as all Hope bearings are) by INA and have been designed to run directly on the crankset axle, without the use of shims or spacers -again increasing life and reliability. Hope use a non contact, free running labyrinth seal to protect the bearing externally, and the machined aluminum center tube is sealed internally with o-rings. The unit is suitable for 68 & 73mm shell width's. Standard 6 colors are available on cups - red, blue, silver, black, gold and gunmetal, with the center tubes being black on the stainless and gunsmoke on the ceramic.
