Home mechanics and workshops replacing a worn 609 bearing with a quality, bike-specific part.
The Enduro 609 LLB is a standard radial cartridge bearing measuring 9 x 24 x 7 mm. Enduro notes it has been used as a hub bearing by Mavic and as a pivot bearing, though Enduro's MAX version is better suited to suspension pivots.
It pairs 52100 high-carbon chromium steel races with Grade 10 steel balls, made to ABEC-3 precision with C3 clearance. LLB dual-lip labyrinth seals and a 90% grease fill keep it running smoothly through rain and grime.
It's sold as one bearing. Check how many your part uses and replace them together for the best result.

In the box
LLB seals
Dual-lip seals ride in a micro-groove in the race to form a full labyrinth, keeping water and grit out and grease in.
Deep-groove races
Enduro cuts its races as deep as possible to fit the largest balls, which spreads load and helps the bearing last.
Great for
Maybe not for
Fits anything that takes a 609 bearing: 9 mm bore, 24 mm outside diameter, 7 mm wide. Check the number on your old bearing's seal. Sold individually.
Press, don't hammer
Use a bearing press or a drift that pushes on the race you're pressing into the part, never on the seal. A hammer can damage a new bearing before it's turned a single kilometre. If you don't have the tools, bring it in and we'll fit it.
Match the number, not just the look
Bearings of similar size can look identical. Read the code on the old seal or measure bore, outside diameter and width before ordering, and bring the old one in if you're unsure.
Enduro makes bicycle bearings in high-carbon chromium steel, 440C stainless steel, ceramic hybrid and XD15, and engineers them with the deepest possible grooved races and dual-lip labyrinth seals for protection against the elements.
