Serviced my BB a few times using the procedure and very happy about the video -- I can get the BB as smooth as when I first bought it. One thing I'd like to point out is that, for a while, I thought I could deviate from the steps mentioned in any way -- but it doesn't seem to be the case. The only way to clean the BB is to use compressed air to blow out the grime ingress into the BB. Since I live rather small I ended up buying a tubeless inflation tank (I bought the Schwalbe one) with an air gun attached. I think the essence of the procedure is that you don't want to stick anything in there, and only want to use (sterile) fluid and air to avoid damaging the insides. Like I also mentioned to CeramicSpeed, a thing I'm missing in the story is the availability of spare BB seals (*only). If you want the spare seals, you're forced to buy the maintenance kit. The kit contains loads of extra stuff that I don't need, which I'm actually kind of bummed out about. For one it's not the sustainable choice, and for another a big source of drag are the seals and the dust covers. The dust covers are very rigid and aren't a big problem, but the seals get bent like crazy. And even if I don't bend them (rarely the case), I end up pinching them a bit because the seal is very tight, as it should be of course. So all in all, it seems that CeramicSpeed goes to incredible lengths to produce phenomenal products with solutions to everything, and many ways to tune it to your liking. But then a part of the maintenance (and drag!) isn't taken care of properly unless you're willing to throw stuff in the bin.

Super cool that you show how to do this, most BB manufacturers say not to remove the seals so good to know that is BS

Hello Ceramicspeed, i have your BB non coated in my supersix evo, it only 2 months old and now its creaking and cracking a lot, for less than 200km, i removed the crank, and i can feel the bearing is not so smooth with my finger. Is this normal for just a few clean ride? And how to open the cover to service it? The crank is sram force axs dub 12 speed. Thanks.

Thank you video to the point !!!

Actually, how long does ceramic bearing last? For the BB and the wheelset bearing(nsw 454)?

i just got pair CeramicSpeed for my hubs. do i have to put grease in them from new i cant see non it maybe oil but i cant tell

I purchased coated CeramicSpeed BB on my Cervelo Caledonia 5, it's been little bit over a year since i bought and it's been to the bike shop 3 times for service and overhaul due to a creaking sound. I am very dissatisfied after paying $600 for a BB, and all it gave me is a frustration.

How do you remove the dust covers on the Colnago BB? The covers go across the face and inside the bearing. There is nothing on your site that says how to do this, you do show how to do it on the flat type (old Version) but not the new improved version that you mention.

When I do this the crank spins freely until I put the dust covers back on; at that point they (plus the grease) are causing a significant amount of resistance as they rotate with the crank. I can barely get one free revolution out of them. Am I missing something?

Can i use "finish line ceramic grease" for greasing my cs bb bearing? Is the recommended fill rate is still 60%?

Me parece que le falta limpieza, creo que retirando la pieza se puede hacer una limpieza más a fondo

Hi. Can i used FINISH LINE ceramic grease for ceramic speed bearing? If yes, what is the fill rate 60%or 70% or 80% or 100%?

Will I feel less resistance when pedaling and will I go faster? If yes to both, sign me up. If not, Hambini wins. What’s the deal?

How often would you recommend doing this ?

i have a ceramicspeed coated bsa 68 shimano bottom bracket. i have no idea how to get to the bearings. there is a plastic cover around the whole thing that is hard to remove. any advice?

Can you use something like Muc Off cleaner or similar cleaner/degreaser?

Hi Ceramicspeed, two questions. (1) Is there a specific reason you omit in your explanation the possibility of using TT grease in the bottom bracket? (2) Where can I buy replacement bearing seals for all your products? This includes the jockey wheels? I prefer to have a replacement seal ready in the unfortunate event one of the seals gets bent (did not happen so far, but I like to be on the safe side!).

Is this the same process for the T45 bb. I can’t see how you remove the seals

whose here because HAmbini exposed this ceramic bearings marketing BS 😁😜😂

@hambini says something different 😂
