{"product_id":"61802-6802","title":"61802-2RSF\/HC (6802) Hub Bearings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe CeramicSpeed 61802-2RSF\/HC (6802) Hub Bearings bring precision-grade ceramic hybrid performance to your wheel hubs, offering a measurable improvement in rolling efficiency over standard steel bearings. Whether you're grinding through Pune's punishing summer roads or spinning up the Western Ghats, these bearings are selected for Indian conditions where heat and contamination push standard components to their limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor riders regularly tackling climbs around Lonavala, Khandala, or Coorg, friction is the invisible enemy. CeramicSpeed's 61802-2RSF\/HC hybrid ceramic bearings use silicon nitride balls paired with high-grade steel races to cut rolling resistance where it matters most — at the hub. In India's 35°C+ heat, steel bearings expand and drag; ceramics stay dimensionally stable and run cooler, making these a genuinely worthwhile upgrade for serious cyclists across Chennai, Hyderabad, and Delhi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are hub bearings, so fit is determined by hub shell dimensions rather than rider body size. The 6802 designation corresponds to a specific bore, outer diameter, and width — verify your hub manufacturer's bearing specification before ordering. Most quality road and gravel hubs accept 6802-series bearings. When in doubt, check your hub service manual or contact Cobbled Climbs before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 61802-2RSF\/HC (6802) fits hubs specifying the 6802 bearing standard. The 2RSF double-contact rubber seal provides excellent protection against dust and monsoon moisture. Compatible with most road, gravel, and cross-country MTB hubs from brands including DT Swiss, Shimano, and others using this bearing dimension. Replace in pairs for balanced performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your drivetrain refresh by pairing these bearings with quality hub-compatible freehub bodies, precision bearing press tools, bearing grease formulated for ceramic use, and a durable chain from a trusted drivetrain brand available at Cobbled Climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ceramic-speed\"\u003eExplore the full Ceramic Speed collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised Ceramic Speed retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat are the CeramicSpeed 61802-2RSF\/HC hub bearings best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThese bearings are ideal for cyclists who want to reduce rolling resistance at the wheel hub on road, gravel, or cross-country mountain bikes.
