Ceramic Bearings?
demographic:
Anyone used them yet? Any good?
I know theres a few threads where they are mentioned but I can't seem to find any where the person has actually used them to give any feedback.
Doordie? Stewart? BDI?
I remember Doordie mentioning them in his wasted Crank thread but not heard any more about them.
The reason I am asking is because someone on another forum I go on was asking and I remembered some comments on here, anyone?
Regards Scott.

You might already know this, ceramic bearings will dissipate heat very quickly, their running surface is smoother which reduces friction and wear. I have no experince with them. In a dirt bike engine I could only see a benifit if the engine is highly modified and turns at high rpms for extended peroids of time.

Another forum? WHAT?? :-( Are you 2 timing us? Could that be Visor Down? :lol: I just rejoined their forum yesterday and saw your name in one of the threads. I've heard about the ceramic bearings but all I know is they cost allot more.

Yup, I'm just a dirty cheat :-D
It's not Visordown, I used that forum for ages but it rapidly went downhill after the owner sold it to a magazine, the search function was broken, and it generally went arse up and got a bit sweary.
Not used it since just after cristmass.
Quite a few of the people on there moved over to therevcounter.com and so far its OK. There the odd numpty but the moderators seem able to get a handle on it.
Cheers, Regards Scott.

I play around with chain saws on the side and here is a link to another forum that talked about these bearings. May help.
