1. An outer ring of a split roller bearing comprising:
two semi-circular parts dis-engageably engageable together to form a circular component via a plurality of respective co-operating contact surfaces in a saw-tooth configuration;
each said respective co-operating contact surface forming a facet;
intersections of said facets forming peak lines and trough lines of said saw-tooth; and
wherein each peak line and each trough line forms a respective first angle to a plane normal to the axis of the ring, wherein at least one of said respective first angles is between 15 and 55 degrees, and wherein each facet forms a respective second angle to a plane containing the axis of the ring.

16. A method of manufacturing an outer ring of a split roller bearing including:
carrying out a cutting step on an outer roller bearing ring to form two semi-circular parts dis-engageably engageable together to re-form the bearing, the cut path providing for a plurality of respective cooperating contact surfaces in a saw tooth configuration, wherein each respective cooperating contact surface forms a facet, and wherein intersections of said facets form peak lines and trough lines of said saw-tooth; and
each peak line and each trough line forming a respective first angle to a plane normal to the axis of the ring, wherein at least one of said respective first angles is between 15 and 55 degrees, and each facet forming a respective second angle to a plane containing the axis of the ring.
