This listing is for kits of sealed cartridge bearings for Giant Reign, Anthem, Stance, NRS & Trance Frame Pivots. All frame configurations Advanced, Alloy & all wheel sizes. The main picture of bearings is only a stock picture & doesn’t indicate what bearings you receive in a kit! This will help us to speed up processing your order. Please Note : These kits contain the Pivot Bearings Only. They do not contain any washers or other hardware. If you look after your frame pivots & replace the bearings regularly you shouldn’t need to replace your other washers & hardware. Keep everything well greased, avoid pressure washing at all costs & avoid using solvent based sprays & lubricants around your bearings, as these dissolve the grease in the bearings!! You will need to source hardware through a Giant dealership! For Bearing Extraction & Installation Tools see my listing below. Visit my YouTube Channel at the link below for my’How To’ videos. The tools also come with a printed instruction sheet on how to use them. Tool kits listed for The Anthem, Trance, Reign contain the extractors & presses you need to remove & install the bearings contained in my kits. PLEASE NOTE: The picture is only indicative of what the tools look like, it isn’t exactly what parts are contained in the kits! If you would like to follow a generic tutorial of How To Fit Pivot Bearings visit my website at the link below. It doesn’t matter whether you have an alloy or composite (Advanced) frame. Model, for example Anthem X1, X2, etc doesn’t effect the type of bearing kit. Please choose your options by the manufacture year listed in the menu. Trance/Anthem 27.5 Series 2. Models, the pair of bearings in the upper’Maestro’ linkage that Giant fit have a small flange to help seat the bearing. The ones supplied in the 2014 – 2016 Full kits are standard bearings not Flanged, you need to select the option for’Series 2 Full Kit’. Please check your frame!! Reign 2008+ & Reign X 2010+ Frames These kits suit frame years upto 2013, 26″ & 29″ wheels only. Not the newer 27.5 wheels!! For 2014 onwards Reign see separate listings. All Trance (from 2008) & Anthem (from 2009) are factory fitted with Full Compliment bearings in all their frame pivots. Don’t compromise on your frame pivots! Chrome Steel (ABEC 1). Hardened Chromium Steel balls in a steel cage with a generous grease fill. Looked after with regular greasing & avoid pressure washers & solvent cleaners they will last well in normal off road riding conditions. MAX Full Compliment (ABEC 3). These are capable of withstanding much higher loadings than the standard caged roller bearings above. Compared to bearings with cages, full compliment bearings have an increased load capacity of around 40% or more. This type of bearing is highly suited to suspension pivots on mountain bikes, where there is a higher load and a lower rotation rate. The whole point of MAX Full compliment bearings is that more balls allow for greater strength in lower rotation, high load applications. Most top end bikes come with these fitted as standard & are designed for hard riding. We do a daily postal drop Mon-Fri. Goods ordered after 2pm will be posted the following day.
