Ceramic Bearings ??

Anyone try these here ??

I've got them on some other bikes but I don't think they'd offer any huge advantage on a VMAX. If and when I do the BST wheels I'll probably go the ceramic bearing route because, well, what's another few hundred dollars when you're buying carbon fiber wheels.

Lots of drag and top speed guys run them, including in the engine, but unless you've got a compelling need to replace bad wheel bearings and need to have the coolest bearings possible, I don't think I'd be in a hurry to go that route.

Yea I have them. Rear wheel bearings only lasted about 5k miles. Switched to bst with ceramic. Performance gains none.

...lots of other 'safety related' items?
