Measuring 18mm x 30mm x 7mm, this bearing features 440C stainless steel races and Grade 10 balls, combined with dual-seals and a 90% grease fill of Mobil XHP 222 high-pressure waterproof grease. This construction ensures exceptional durability and resistance to daily wear, moisture, and contaminants, making it ideal for use in bottom brackets, hubs, and transmission components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered with precision, the SMR 18307 LLB offers superior corrosion resistance thanks to its 440C stainless steel, recognized for its strength, hardness, and wear resistance. This material undergoes multiple heat and cryogenic treatments to achieve peak mechanical properties, making it a robust choice for cyclists who frequently ride in wet or harsh conditions. While stainless steel bearings have slightly less load capacity than traditional chromium steel, their longevity and reliability in corrosive environments make them an outstanding alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnduro Bearings' commitment to quality is reflected in the bearing’s dual-lip seals that create a labyrinth seal system, providing superior protection against dirt and water ingress. This bearing also comes with a two-year anti-corrosion warranty, ensuring peace of mind for riders who demand consistent performance from their components. Whether you’re maintaining your hub or upgrading your bottom bracket, the SMR 18307 LLB offers dependable service and smooth operation every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse in hubs and bottom brackets requiring corrosion-resistant bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications exposed to wet or humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCyclists seeking durable, long-lasting bearing performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining smooth, efficient rotation under daily riding conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-load applications exceeding the static load limit of 460lbf \/ 2.05kN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuspension pivot bearings where MAX-type bearings are recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSituations requiring the highest load capacity of chromium steel bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse without proper installation or maintenance in extremely abrasive environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes 440C stainless steel better for these bearings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e440C stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, hardness, and wear resistance compared to other stainless steel alloys, making it ideal for wet or harsh riding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this bearing be used in suspension pivots?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile it can be used as a pivot bearing, the MAX-type version of this bearing is better suited for suspension applications due to its enhanced load capacity and design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enduro Bearings","offers":[{"title":"7mm \/ Silver \/ SMR 18307 30mm 440C Stainless Steel","offer_id":46201185992879,"sku":"EB9923","price":14.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/48086-pm.jpg?v=1768534341","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/enduro-bearings-smr-18307-llb-18x30x7mm-440c-stainless-steel-radial-bearing","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
