Ceramic ball bearings

[diesel pig]

Ok MicoBlue Bearings can only do 3 of the 5 bearings I need for the 2 wheels and cush drive if wish to do a set up for lowest rolling resistance possible. So do I get the three MicoBlue bears and 2 of the best steel bearing I can get. Or do I get a whole other brands set up of 5 CERAMIC BALL BEARINGS from some where else? Is there anyone else I can could trust for good motorcycle wheel CERAMIC BALL BEARINGS? Any thoughts on the matter would be helpful. Cheers

May be expensive to keep changing the bearings in order to maintain the initial low friction: "An often neglected part of tribology is how a bearing responds as it wears out. The graph below shows a comparison between two steel bearings (SKF and NTN) and a Ceramic bearing (Enduro). Initially the Enduro bearing has lower friction, at around 600km of use, the ceramic bearing has worn a track into the comparatively soft steel races and the bearing friction starts to increase dramatically. It is comfortably higher than steel bearings after a modest running in period. Hybrid ceramic bearings are the equivalent of trying to run a locomotive on an asphalt road – the hardness differential causes the road (raceway) to become damaged." https://www.hambini.com/ceramic-bear...ring-analysis/
