Abstract
Disclosed is a bearing system (34, 72, 100) for a bicycle (1) comprising a bicycle frame (2), wherein the bearing system (34, 72, 100) forms a rotary joint of a wheel suspension and has at least one inner ring (36, 84, 102) and at least one outer ring (38, 76, 108) comprising a bearing element (40, 80, 82) arranged therebetween. According to the invention, the inner ring (36, 84, 102) forms a pre-assembled assembly together with the outer ring (38, 76, 108) and the bearing element (40, 80, 82). Also disclosed is a bicycle (1) comprising such a bearing system (34, 72, 100).
