Looking for ceramic bearings

[Landmine]

Morning Guys

                      I'm looking for Ceramic bearings for FSA MEGAEXO bottom bracket. Cranks are FSA K - Force light. Thread is BC 1.37 x 24. 

 

As i live in Botswana i'm trying to source these bearings in the Gauteng area. Any ideas where to find them at a reasonable price. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks!

what's the word on the quality of their bearings. Any actual end-user experiences?

Quite a few guys using their wheels and I would presume they have the above bearings in. Haven't heard of any complaints. The current VA SA champ is on token so that must say something. I have not heard anything bad about the online store either, in fact their is a thread about token and its all compliments. I am going to try their bearings in the new year once I see how much cash is left after xmas.

Why are their bearings relatively cheap, and based on what I've heard Ceramic Speed is *** expensive for the same thing?

CeramicSpeed is very expensive but they are also used by a few big name teams like Tinkoff, ETIXX and DiData. So maybe the name pushes up the price? I also think with CeramicSpeed you buy a whole complete unit and not just the bearing itself. Like with many things you do get a cheaper version so maybe this is the case. I don't know enough about the breakdown between the 2 different brands to say if the products used by the one is more superior to the other.

But I do think for this price I will give a set of their bearings a go on my wheels. If they decent I will try BB out.

 

I wouldn't mind one of those CeramicSpeed oversized pulleys though.

With ceramic bearings, is any of it actually ceramic? In my mind ceramic is a "stuff" The ceramic vs normal bearings look exactly the same.

The balls in the bearing are ceramic instead of steel.
