Has anyone tried ceramic bearings?
anyone got any info on gains in the quarter mile? are the sealed street version as good as the drag version? I heard you pickup about a tenth. Can anyone verify?

Are you non oring chain already? cheaper mod with similar results....
not too sure, but I'd be surprised if either gave you a tenth...

I've got the ceramic bearings on mine. Love them. Don't have any 1/4 mile numbers to compare, though.

Northmedic I wish you had some 1/4 mile data to show if those bearings make a difference.

Put them on last week. Just spinning the wheels by hand I felt I noticed a difference. Will give them a full test in three weeks.
