SHS Oil Retaining Bearing (6mm)

Bearings & Bushings are inserts that slot into your gearbox shell. Their diameter is dictated by the gearbox shell - if you have a 6mm gearbox then you use 6mm bearings/bushings, for 8mm you go with 8mm bushings/bearings etc. These are 6mm bearings, and only for 6mm gearboxes. They will not fit any other size.

Bearings are smoother with less drag - this makes them perfect for low-noise set ups. However as they do have moving parts they are not as reliable as bushings, so if reliability is the utmost concern, then I would strongly recommend bushings. These bearings are manufactured by SHS and are fantastic quality, especially for the money.

Installing new bearings requires the complete disassembly of your gearbox.
