In association with CeramicSpeed.

CeramicSpeed are best known for making high quality ceramic bearings for headsets and bottom brackets, the level of precision they require in the ceramic bearings they use is frankly mind blowing. But in recent years they have expanded into making oversized jockey wheels for rear derailleurs, and super efficient coatings for chains. If you want to know how good these products are, just look at how many pros are using CeramicSpeed's products when they aren't sponsored, such as Michael Valgren at the Amstel Gold Race.

Are your bearings super smooth? Let us know in the comments if you're as obsessed with bearings as CeramicSpeed are! 👇
