Ceramic bearings

warrior4life

Has anybody replaced their existing wheel bearings with ceramic ones and if so does it make a noticable difference?

I'm seriously thinking of changing but i want to make sure its worth the £60-£90 it will cost. 8)

Not done it myself - but I've read that it really doesnt make that much difference.

Only when you'd upgraded absolutely everything else - removing the rubber seals from your existing bearings will proably be as effective. There are some ridiculous numbers quoted for power saving which don't have a shred of real world evidence.

i think the durability is the main difference but youd probably wear the rims down before it is a problem.
