    A bit OT, but I like to use ceramic bearing jockey wheels on my rear derailleur, not to save weight (they are on my rain bike!), but because they really last nicely. The first set I had lasted about 3 years before they got cranky and squeaky, whereas before I'd be cursing them after about 3 months

    Hye, I've been away busy at work getting the kids off to Europe and a Triathlon yesterday.

    I have realy LOVED my wheels with the ceramic bearings. I don't have a great comparison, but have had some great performance out of the wheels.

    I recently got the new Cervelo and had an FSA crankset with a ceramic bearing bottom bracket installed and I'm going faster and faster on it. I also had cermic bearings installed in the Madone bottom bracket and love that too.

    next step will be ceramic pulley wheels.

    Definately feel that there is improvement with less resistance and smoothness. But I can't qunaitfiy that with data.

    Did you use hybrid bottom bracket bearings?
