Are avid bearings any good?
They are cheaper and last longer. The Avid bearings are good to go. They seem to last as long as all the other bearings(no more no less) I have used & at $1 you can afford to replace them more often than needed.

Are ceramic RC bearings worth it?
It’s all about the performance. The ceramic balls used in RC bearings are made from silicon nitride, which is lighter and harder than steel. This lightness and added hardness make them ideal for high-speed performance applications like on-road touring and drag racing.
What is ceramic bearing?
Ceramic bearings are comprised of ceramic rolling elements (balls) enclosed in a ferrous (typically steel) inner and outer race. Since these bearings are constructed from many materials, they often operate in hybrid capacities.
Should I lubricate ceramic bearings?
No, full ceramic bearings can be run completely dry. They do not need lubrication to run. Ceramic is non-porous, unlike steel, as a result it is virtually frictionless.
How long do ceramic speed bearings last?
CeramicSpeed Bottom Brackets and Wheel Bearings should be maintained every 5,000-8,000 km or 3,000-5,000 miles and generally last 5 times longer compared to what you would experience with a standard bearing. CeramicSpeed headset bearings can be maintained once per year for most riders.
Do you lubricate ceramic bearings?
No, full ceramic bearings can be run completely dry. They do not need lubrication to run. Ceramic is non-porous, unlike steel, as a result it is virtually frictionless. Ceramic also dissipates heat very quickly, which is the same reason they use it on the underside of the space shuttle.
Are ceramic bearings stronger than steel?
A ceramic bearing is also harder than steel bearings (up to 30%), which improves durability, and they also don’t rust so less maintenance should be required. Most sealed ceramic bearings are actually hybrid ceramic bearings, which combine a steel race with ceramic ball bearings.

What determines the performance and reliability of a rolling bearing?
The materials from which the bearing components are made determine to a large extent the performance and reliability of the rolling bearings. This why ACER Racing has used PEEK cages for our ceramic engine bearings.
