My wheel set does not have full ceramics in them, they are hybrid
ceramics. I agree that the $$$ for full ceramics is way to much for the
performance gain. But a full set of ceramic hybrids for $60 in my

wheels
was well worth it if only for the lower maintenance.

On this I plead complete ignorance. How are ceramic hybrid bearings lower
maintenance than steel bearings?

I'm curious too.
Hey Frank,
Apparently you have to KJA or something like that first.


KMA Korean Medical Association?
KJM Krasnojarsk, Russia Airport Code?

Is there any measurable benefit to ceramic versus steel bearings?


Hmm. It might depend on what measuring equipment you use. After all,
there are ways to measure the mass of an electron!

Some good reasons to switch to ceramic bearings are these:

1) If you routinely lose finishing sprints for good prize money, by
0.001 seconds or less;

2) If you routinely get infuriated by "whiners" who use science to
disagree with fashion.

3) If you want to do your part to help the world economy. Spend
lots!



"'whiners' who use science to disagree with fashion"??? for ceramic
bearings, science and fashion agree - ceramics perform better.

damn, you're a ****ing idiot krygowski.

Sounds like someone here hasn't learned the definition of
"negligible."

ah, the tired old excuse of the underinformed and terminally stupid -
"oh, that doesn't fit with what i just presumed??? that's inconvenient.
better call it 'negligible' then!".
