“MAX” Type bearings have no retainer and a fill slot for balls. “MAX” stands for Maximum number of Balls. This design allows the bearing to handle 35% more load capacity than retainer type (standard) bearings. Max bearings come with 90% grease fill using CRC Marine Grease or Almagard ® extra-high pressure grease. Max bearings do not spin as smoothly as the retainer bearings and work best in Suspension pivots. In some cases, a Max bearing can be used to replace an undersized bearing in a hub or used for a heavier rider. “LLU” is a double-lipped type seal that making medium contact. The “LLU” seal rides in a groove making a labyrinth seal.
