A transportation and mounting sleeve for a row of needles, rollers, or the like rolling elements, supported in an outer ring for installation in a bearing. The sleeve disposed inside the row of rolling elements is comprised of resilient plastic material and has a rounded polygonal shape, as seen in axial top view, and particularly a triangular shape, wherein the distance between at least two of the corners of the polygon is greater than the diameter of the envelope circle of the opening radially inside the rolling elements.
