Ceramic bearings

« on: September 26, 2004, 04:51:25 am »

Does anyone have any experience using ceramic wheel bearings? I have 3 wheel sets and I've noticed a big difference in drag between the three, I'm assuming from crappy stock tolerances. Feedback is appreciated and maybe where I can find them as well. I've been looking for a while and I can only find MTB stuff.

I know Woodcraft (www.woodcraft-cfm.com) sells some, but not sure what brand they are
