Ceramic Bearings

VXB hybrid (japan) so far ive only bought fronts, world wide bearings in a 17in roadster rim and this vxb set on a 16in touring rim, both will only see track duty as they have 130s mounted.

I just realized that when I was young, price was #1 to me and this was while I had much life yet to live. I gave no care to the longevity of a product.
Now in my run to home plate from third base, quality and longevity have become much more important than cost.
WHY?

i dont have abs. I read some post from years ago youll had issues with the 130 and the abs. The 130 just gives me zr speed rating and geometry im wanting for lsr and 1/4 drag racing.

Because you got wiser. I always told my kids, the cheapest price is usually the worst bargain.

We tested ceramic on a superkart, two years of data said our top speed down a back straight was always between 182 and 184km/h. Same day, did one session, same average speed for ten laps, changed to ceramic bearings on the wheels and drive axle. Next two sessions our speed was up consistently 3-5km/h. They offer a gain at speed.
