{"product_id":"the-pivot-max-6902-2rsv-full-ball-pivot-bearing","title":"The Pivot Max | 6902-2RSV Full-Ball Pivot Bearing, 15x28x7mm, ABEC-5","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspension does not fail slowly. It fails all at once, at the worst moment, usually on the third lap of a descent you have ridden a hundred times. The failure almost never starts in the shock. It starts in the pivot, in a bearing that was never designed for the direction the force actually arrives from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6902-2RSV is built for that direction. It is a MAX type full-ball bearing: instead of a cage holding a reduced ball count, the maximum number of balls is loaded into the race, and the grooves are cut deeper to give lateral support against the twisting loads that a mountain bike pivot generates. The published figure is 35 to 40 percent more load capacity than a standard radial bearing of the same envelope, and it arrives in the same 15 x 28 x 7mm package your frame already accepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seals are LLU, which is the specification that decides whether a pivot survives a British winter or a Pacific Northwest season. Inside, the bearing is filled to 90 percent with Mobil XHP-222 grease and vacuum packed before it ships. ABEC-5 tolerance on a full-ball bearing is a deliberate choice: the point of the extra balls is stiffness, and loose tolerance would give that stiffness back as play. Four pieces to a lot, because pivots are replaced in pairs and pairs are replaced together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA pivot bearing is the cheapest part on the bike and the one that decides whether the ride ends well.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin:24px 0;border:0;border-top:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy The Specification Reads This Way\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e✦ MAX full-ball construction, 35 to 40 percent more load capacity than standard radial bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e✦ Deeper race grooves for lateral support against twisting pivot loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e✦ LLU seals that keep water and grit out of the grease charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e✦ 90 percent fill of Mobil XHP-222 grease, vacuum packed before dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e✦ ABEC-5 tolerance held on a full-ball assembly to avoid introducing play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e✦ Standard 15 x 28 x 7mm envelope that drops into existing pivot hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e✦ RoHS compliant materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e✦ Four pieces per lot to cover a full pivot service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6902-2RSV (6902-2RS, 6902LLU equivalent fitment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e MAX full-ball, non-caged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15mm ID x 28mm OD x 7mm width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABEC-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeals:\u003c\/strong\u003e VRS \/ LLU sealed both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrease:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mobil XHP-222, 90 percent fill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface roughness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ra 0.05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per lot:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vacuum packed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e RoHS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrail riders replace pivot bearings as a scheduled service rather than a repair, because a seized pivot loads the shock and the frame in ways that cost far more than four bearings. Frame builders and small-batch suspension makers buy them in lots for prototype pivots where the envelope is fixed and the load case is not. Shops keep a set on the bench because the 6902 size covers a wide spread of trail and enduro frames, and a customer who arrives with a creaking rear end rarely wants to wait for a part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill these fit my frame?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bearing is a standard 6902 envelope at 15 x 28 x 7mm.
