ceramic wheel bearings

[MadBill]

The version I heard was: "The man with a watch knows the time. The man with two is never quite sure..." Either way, a lot of wisdom contained in a few words!

BTW, my new Casio solar-powered wrist toy, besides showing GMT as well as local time and 12 or 24 hr. clock, has 5 alarms (!) , shows altitude, barometric pressure, temperature, changes time zones automatically and receives regular radio corrections from the atomic clock in Colorado, which is accurate to +/- one sec. in 65 million years.
Go ahead, ask me the time!

Do you have one of those watches or two?

LOL. Do you know the old fighter pilot saying: "Big watch, little d***"?

Before I was a fighter pilot I was an auto engineer, so I can poke fun.

The engineer's version is something like: "The size of the watch is
inversely proportional to the size of the subject unit."

Fighter pilots often quickly cut to the chase.


No, I don't wear a watch.

Hi I’m new to this site and just wanted to say hello to everyone. I came across this post seeing someone had an interest about ceramic bearings.
I own a manufacturing facility and make ceramic wheel & transmission bearings for all applications. My new site at the time is being updated but you can contact me if you have any questions on application and or pricing. I started making ceramic bearings years ago for performance gains and with testing and years of R&D we started to see fuel economy increase on the street cars we have done. Any additional information like dyno results please feel free to contact me via email. AnimalHouseRacing@hotmail.com

Thank You

I have used Hybrid Ceramics for 2 Years in the rear axles of 3 Racecars. Did we pick up any speed? Maybe. Did we win more races? Probably. Have we ever hurt one? Never. The experts will tell you it is not a huge gain over a good high quality well maintained bearing. However, it makes you feel good when you spin that bearing & it spins forever. I buy Regular & Ceramic from the guys below. Bearing Tech will custom build you anything. Also, they will cut the price if you buy quantities. So get your buddies together & do a group buy.

This is in addition to gofastscottb's reply;

Ceramic bearings are the Holy Grail!! They are smoother, lighter, stiffer, corrosion resistant, harder and electrically resistant. They also diss heat quicker, reduce friction and wear, maintain a smooth and precision surface.... period!

They can be gotten in full ceramic or partial, with a steel race.

Made from Silicon Nitrate (Si3N4) which is similar to what's used on the space shuttle.

Here in NJ, Worldwide Bearings is the industries largest supplier for cars, bikes, atv's, snowmobiles and karts.

Check them both out, especially you n/a guys, where every .001 counts and means the diff between a win/loss.

Hope this helps a bit.....
