MTRX - The new standard in bearing technology. Based on decades of experience in industrial applications, SKF’s MTRX solid oil bearings are the most reliable and durable solution for mountain biking’s most highly contaminated and wet environments.
MTRX bearings are filled with SKF Solid Oil technology. The oil impregnated polymer matrix lubricates and protects the bearing even under the toughest operating conditions and ensures significantly longer service life even when using high-pressure cleaners. The deep groove ball bearings have been developed for bearing arrangements where high humidity, occasional contact with water or heavy contamination cause major problems.
MTRX bearings provide many advantages due to Solid Oil, especially if bearings are mounted at dirt-exposed positions in the bike. The polymer matrix contains two to four times more oil than bearings with conventional grease fill, and so protects the bearing components, leading to longer bearing life, even under extremely contaminated conditions, while requiring no relubrication.The polymer filling physically supports integral seals, reinforcing their effectiveness while the bike is undergoing high-pressure cleaning. MTRX bearings prevent lubricant washout and ingress of contaminants more reliably than grease-filled bearings.
I recently took my dated and tired old racing bike along to Leeli Cycles for some much needed work. I was cheerfully greeted by Ben the very friendly owner and number one mechanic. He suggested a full service and looked over the bike to access the condition of the other cycle components. A very comprehensive quote was later emailed to me listing all the parts that Ben would require to complete the job. He phoned me as soon as my bike was ready and I hurried along to pick it up. My first reaction was, wow! It looked as good as new and fully roadworthy again. Ben had done an incredible job in transforming my old racer back to its former glory! I'm very pleased to have used Leeli Cycles along with Ben's wealth of mechanical knowledge, sound advice and attention to detail. Even happier still to support this amazing small local business offering great value and excellent customer service. An outstanding shop in every way for all your cycling needs with the personal touch. Pop in and see for yourself. I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.
