Bottom bracket
CeramicSpeed BB Alpha
CeramicSpeed's top bottom bracket line, with hardened stainless steel races, silicon nitride ceramic balls and redesigned seals that the brand says keep moisture out far better than before. It is made for most frame standards and crank spindles and carries a lifetime warranty; it's a pricey upgrade where the gains are small but the bearings should outlast the frame.
Fitted to 8 builds across 3 bikes in the database.
