Hello I have a fuji sl1 with kysrium elite wheels by mavic, and a ultegra sl drivetrain, i would like to know what brand of ceramic bearings should i go for. Thanks
My advice is to forget ceramic bearings. They won't make you go faster unless you are an elite racer looking to shave a few seconds off of a long time trial. I am pretty sure that all the bearings on your bike except the bottom bracket and headset are cup and cone with loose bearings. Take the time to completely overhaul the surfaces- remove the bearings, clean all surfaces of the factory grease, and reinstall with white lithium grease. Don't pack the bearings- Coat the races with a small amount of grease- just barely enough to coat it- and roll each bearing between your finger until thinly coated. Do this every 1500 miles and you'll be far ahead of the ceramic bearing peloton. If you really want to go overboard get some high grade stainless steel balls from your local bearing supplier.
