These shields create a protective seal that reduces friction buildup, promotes freer wheel spin, and helps prevent mid-season bearing failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will these shields help me improve my lap times?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. By reducing drag and friction within the bearing assembly, you allow for smoother wheel rotation. This efficiency can help you maintain better momentum through corners and potentially shave precious tenths off your lap times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Products From Vendor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/aluminum-bearing-shield-fits-1-842-race-od-rbi-or-wms-big-bearing-pm-36f\"\u003ePMI PM-36F Aluminum Bearing Shield - 1.842\" RBI \u0026amp; WMS Big Bearings - All Classes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pmi-laser-alignment-system-standard-axle-pm-091200st\"\u003ePMI Laser Alignment System for Standard Axle Karts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pmi-digital-spring-height-gauge-pm-134200\"\u003ePMI Digital Spring Height Gauge with Case for Kart Tuning\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pmi-laser-axle-adaptor-standard-pm-091020\"\u003ePMI Standard Laser Axle Adaptor in Blue Anodized Aluminum\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pmi-laser-axle-adaptor-thin-wall-pm-091030\"\u003ePMI Thin Wall Laser Axle Adaptor - Blue Anodized Finish\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SwiftKarting","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52380247261503,"sku":"PM-56C-1605","price":21.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/6843\/4239\/files\/bearingshields-pm-56c-1-605-bearing-shield-set-pm-56c-1605_eb8969c4-a48e-4ff8-8386-c66f53cc43b1.jpg?v=1773223221","url":"https:\/\/metro-merch-3.myshopify.com\/products\/pm-56c-1-605-bearing-shield-set-for-rbi-and-small-kart-bearings","provider":"Metro Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
