Fork Wheelchair Bearings – 6001 (12mm) ABEC-5 28x12x8mm Serviceable (4-Pack)

Keep your wheelchair performing at its best with premium 6001 (12mm) ABEC-5 bearings designed for front forks and high-load wheel applications.
Regular maintenance reduces wear on your body and extends the life of your wheelchair. Replacing old or worn bearings restores a smoother, faster roll and protects your shoulders from unnecessary strain. These serviceable bearings are built for performance, durability, and long-term use in demanding conditions.

Why Service Your Bearings

Manufacturers recommend servicing your wheelchair at least once per year. Dirt, moisture, and debris gradually cause drag or bearing seizure. Installing new bearings is a simple at-home upgrade that restores smooth, quiet rolling performance and improves overall efficiency.
