I'm thinking of ordering a set of Neuvation wheels (M28 Aero 3). I see they offer an upgrade of ceramc bearings. Has anyone here ever used these bearings (Enduro Grade 5)? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!

I had my White Hubs rebuilt with Enduro Hybrid Ceramic bearings.

My LBS guru thought I was wasting frns. :crap:

After installation, he remarked ... "Wow ...these are nice!"
He is now sold on them.

My front hub initially had an minor aperiodic thump. Enduro said that is
is normal and will soon disappear. After about 20 miles it did.
There were teflon "lumps" in the bearing grease.

I recommend the Hybrid bearings .... Ceramic balls and Steel races.
The full ceramic are very expensive.

Since I installed these bearing and ceramic FSA pulleys ...
I can now pass 4 year olds on push scooters downhill in a hurricane. :D

Hey I like blink ... forgive me ?

I spoke with John, The owner of Neuvation, about a year ago about the ceramic upgrade. His honest opinion was that nobody would be able to tell the difference, but since people wanted sexy, he had to offer it.

The stock bearings that come on the Neuvation wheels spin nicely as is. I'd save the money.
