The ORBEA Lower Bearing 1 1/2" + Crown Race is a high-quality replacement component designed to restore smooth, precise steering performance to your bike. Positioned at the base of the headset, the lower bearing works together with the crown race on the fork to provide stable, low-friction rotation under load. This is especially important for riders who demand reliable handling on fast descents, technical trails, or long road rides, where any play or roughness in the headset can quickly affect confidence and control.
Engineered to meet the standards of modern ORBEA frames and forks that use a 1 1/2" lower headset interface, this bearing and crown race combo is ideal for servicing a worn-out headset or completing a frame build. Replacing these parts as part of regular maintenance helps prevent creaks, eliminates unwanted play, and protects your frame and fork from premature wear. Whether you are a home mechanic or a professional workshop, this lower bearing and crown race set offers a straightforward way to keep your steering system running smoothly and reliably for many seasons of riding.
