==Product Description== | |||
The bearing behind the Official Downhill Speed World Record – 80.83 mph by Mischo Erban! | |||
Now with tighter assembly tolerances! | |||
Breakthrough self-aligning design corrects for flaws in bearing seat levelness, bearing seat spacing, axle diameter and axle straightness. | |||
Seismic® Tekton bearings feature wide, flat contact surfaces at the ends of integrated, custom-machined half-spacers. The broad flanges square up, co-align and self-stabilize inside your wheels – correcting for flaws in bearing seat levelness, bearing seat spacing, axle diameter and axle straightness. | |||
The Tektons literally block themselves from sitting or rocking out of alignment, so they stay straighter than any other bearing system ever. Your wheels roll faster with better control, while the bearings last longer and stay quieter. | |||
Other features include: top-grade P4 steel balls, nylon retainers, black outer casing, removable rubber-coated steel seals with printed graphic, and high-end Japanese Kyodo grease. Construction meets or exceeds requirements for ABEC-7 rating. | |||
The inner race is stepped underneath the seal to resist contamination, and it’s stepped between the bearing and the flange to save weight. On the side opposite the flange, the inner race extends 0.5mm to form a thin integrated washer. No bearing spacers, axle washers, or World Record budgets required! | |||
===Advanced Self-Alignment=== | |||
Patented design integrates wide, flat contact surfaces on ends of custom-machined half-spacers. Broad flanges square up, co-align, and self-stabilize inside wheels. Corrects for flaws in bearing seat levelness and spacing / axle diameter and straightness. | |||
Self-straightening: Prevents bearings from sitting or rocking out of alignment better than any other system. | |||
Self-supporting: Protects bearings from internal stresses. | |||
===Advanced Construction=== | |||
Packed with premium “high RPM” light grease, formulated by one of the world’s most renowned lubricant suppliers. | |||
Inner race specially contoured underneath seal to resist contamination, and stepped between bearing and flange to save weight. Extends 0.5mm on side opposite flange to form thin integrated washer. | |||
Retainers made of Dupont engineering-grade Nylon for superior durability. | |||
Degree of play engineered for balanced performance and wear across all skating disciplines. Not too much, not too little. | |||
===Advanced Ball Specifications=== | |||
Balls rated P4, the highest grade available. Superior concentricity, surface smoothness, speed and durability. | |||
6-Ball Tektons constructed with fewer, larger, stronger balls. Less total ball-raceway surface contact, less friction, quicker acceleration. | |||
Ceramic Tektons feature lightweight, rustproof trisilicon tetranitride (Si3N4) balls. Lighter, tougher balls mean less friction, quicker acceleration, more speed! Harder than steel, black ceramic crushes debris, keeps raceways clean. Runs cooler, too. | |||
