Ultra low drag ceramic bearings would make ALL the difference here. Photo courtesy BCE, CC.

  2. I'm wicked skeptical of ceramics, too. But their (supposed) ability to survive contamination actually would be a benefit for 'cross.

    Wouldn't it??

  3. but but the benefits are supposed to be in lower rolling resistance...

    but if there are 'other' benefits...

    well that might just throw solobreak's rant off the wagon...

    you mean the bearings might actually LAST longer and wear less?

    no way...

    that would be crazy talk...

    ;)

  4. "reducing friction to near zero"

    That's awesome. In a vacuum it could spin forever!

    How far away from zero can you be and still be close to zero?
