Also we have Shimano BB30 bottom bracket kits for all those new pressfit frames. Very smooth, spin easier, and are very fast..!!

And that has brought changes in the number of gears and types of bottom brackets and wheels too!

Well we're ready for the changes... with new Ultra Torque anodised Red or Black cups - with our super bearings,

then there is the Zipp kit for 2010 wheels. In late 2009 Zipp changed the size of their bearings to 6803's.

This covers 202's,303's 404's 606's, 808's and 909 or 999's.

And to remind all you speed freaks.... these are not chinese bearings!

They cost more because they cost more to make.... in Sweden ... by SKF... and then put together by CeramicSpeed in Denmark!

Wanna check what you bought?

Prise off the seal.. if the bearings are held in a steel retainer instead of a teflon coated plastic one, then you've got chinese bearings.

The Teflon coated plastic race means the bearings are held in a lighter and rust free cage,

Plus they are lighter, have less friction, and less things to rust if the water does get in.

If you think that you're getting a great deal on a ceramic bottom bracket at under £100, or a set of ceramic jockey wheels for under £40.... then be prepared for disappointment.

Sorry to say this but you get what you pay for in this world.

At Active Life we sell the best products we can find, not the cheapest.

CeramicSpeed bearings won the Tour De France last year. Dugast Tubulars and CeramicSpeed bearings won numerous Olympic titles in Beijing.

I don't believe Enduro or Hope or F1 or Boca or Wheels Manufacturing did... but you can always ask?

We'll be updating our website soon and with it our guide to ceramic bearings. How to go faster, and why you go faster with CeramicSpeed.

Until then, enjoy the good weather !!
