Where is igus® hiding?

Smooth running and 74 x longer service life
A long service life combined with very low weight are important criteria in the bicycle industry. As iglidur® plain bearings do not require lubrication, dirt is not a problem. Crank Brothers from USA installed iglidur® plain bearings in their pedals and tested them in-house. The result: a 74 times longer service life.
