Enduro S6806/29 LLB Stainless Steel Bottom Bracket Bearing 29 x 42 x 7mm

S6806/29LB - Stainless-Steel, Bottom Bracket bearing - 29 x 42 x 7mm -

This Bottom Bracket Bearing features 440C stainless steel alloy races and balls with 90% fill, high-pressure, water-proof grease.

Not all stainless steel is created equal.
Enduro only uses 440C stainless steel balls and races to provide long life and superior corrosion resistance in applications and environments that may be less than ideal. 440C has the highest strength, hardness, and wear resistance of all the standard 440-series stainless alloys with high carbon content. As expected, it is also the most expensive of the 440 series alloys and requires multiple rounds of heat treatment and cryogenic treatment to achieve its superior mechanical properties. Though stainless steel has 20% less load capacity and is slightly softer than our standard 52100 chromium steel used in most of our bearings, stainless steel is an excellent alternative for use in wet conditions, if you wash your bike often, or where sweat can be a problem.

The most common use for this bearing is as a direct replacement bearing for BB30 and PF30 type BBs with SRAM DUB cranksets.
