Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about upgrading your ride with Kogel Bearings.
What makes Kogel ceramic bearings better than standard steel bearings?
Kogel ceramic bearings are harder, smoother, and more round than steel. This results in significantly lower friction, higher durability in harsh conditions, and a faster ride with less effort required.
How do I know which bottom bracket fits my bike?
Selecting the right bottom bracket depends on your frame's shell type and your crankset's spindle diameter. We recommend using our 'Bottom Bracket Selector' tool or contacting our support team with your bike's make and model.
Do Kogel products come with a warranty?
Yes, all Kogel products are covered by a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects. If you perform an annual bearing service with an authorized Kogel dealer, we offer a 'Guaranteed Performance' extension.
How often should I service my ceramic bearings?
For optimal performance, we recommend servicing your bearings once a year or every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. If you frequently ride in wet or muddy conditions, more frequent maintenance may be necessary.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, Kogel Bearings ships worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by destination and will be calculated at checkout. Please note that international orders may be subject to local customs duties.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return policy for unused and uninstalled products in their original packaging. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact our customer service team to initiate a return or exchange.
