• providing an outer ring of a rolling bearing, the outer ring having an outer surface configured to be fitted into a first component,
• providing an inner ring of the rolling bearing, the inner ring having an inner surface configured to be fitted onto a second component,
• providing at least one rolling element arranged between the outer ring and the inner ring, and
• bonding a first polymer composite sheet directly on the outer surface of the outer ring using a bonding agent or an adhesive and/or bonding a second polymer composite sheet directly on the inner surface of the inner ring using a bonding agent or an adhesive,
• wherein at least one of the first and second polymer composite sheets is made of a fluroethylenepropylene (FEP), a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS).
