What Are Steel Ball Bearings Used For?

Steel ball bearings are the essential components that bring your bicycle to life. Ideal for high-speed applications, these small but vital parts reduce rotational friction, enabling your bike to roll, steer, pedal, and function smoothly. Without them, key parts like the headset, wheels, and drivetrain wouldn't operate, making the bike unusable.

Ball bearings can be crafted from a variety of materials - including chrome steel, ceramics, and metal alloys - to meet different needs. They are used in areas where they must withstand axial and radial loads, like the bottom bracket, pedals, shifters, and headset. Correctly sized bearings are crucial; poorly fitting or inefficient bearings impact even the most basic bike functions, diminishing ride quality and performance.
