Riders and mechanics replacing 6000 size bearings in quick-release hubs.
The Enduro 6000 LLB is a 10 x 26 x 8 mm sealed radial bearing, generally used as a hub bearing in quick-release hub designs. It is one of the most common sizes in the workshop.
It is an ABEC-3 bearing with C3 clearance, deep-groove races and Grade 10 balls, sealed on both sides with LLB seals and filled 90% with high pressure waterproof grease to handle daily use and bad weather.
It can be used as a pivot bearing, but Enduro suggests the MAX version of this size for suspension work.
