M Part introduces bicycle gear hangers and bearings

Madison own-brand M Part is introducing a new range of bicycle gear hangers and bearings, a significant expansion of its workshop essentials offering. Aiming to give local bike shops greater convenience, the addition of the new bearing and hangers will give access to these parts for nearly any bicycle on the market, the brand said.

M Part gear hangers are cold forged using 6061 aluminium, the same material as used by bike frame manufacturers guaranteeing the correct hardness level. Using the same manufacturers that produce around 90% of the bearings to the bike industry, M Part said that all of its bearings meet the same specifications and quality of original bearings found on bicycles.

There are also updated gear hanger and bearing charts to help simplify thing for workshops, helping make sense of the wide variety of shapes and sizes for both gear hangers and bearings.  There’s digital help too – Madison has improved its search function for these spares on its B2B platform with additional filters for gear hangers so dealers can select the number of fasteners required and the frame manufacturer. The improved search is also improved for bearings with all bearing descriptions including size, which is listed on the B2B platform in the bearing industry’s standard format. This allows mechanics to identify replacement bearings by measuring the worn parts before disposal.

The updated M Part bearing range covers hubs, bottom brackets, pedals, suspension and most of the eBike motors on the market. Each bearing has its intended applications clearly labelled and details of bearing specification are provided near the top of the poster. Dealers can contact their Madison Account Manager for more information.
