CeramicSpeed's quest to reduce friction for the masses isevident in how many different bottom bracket/crank spindle offerings it has ontap. Reducing drivetrain friction at the crank is pretty much the first line ofdefense in nixing additional drag and if your frame uses a BB86 shell andyou're running a Shimano 24mm spindle crank, we'd like to make a suggestion foryou. Pressfit86 shells allow for wider bottom bracket/downtube junctionsboosting frame stiffness and without metal threads, the setup usually comes ina bit lighter. And we all know that adding stiffness while dropping weight isthe holy grail, the trifecta is dropping friction too and now you can purchasethe same components that pros count on to get an edge on the competition.CeramicSpeed is an industry-leader in smooth rolling bearings and the BB86Shimano bottom bracket allows you to take full advantage of the improved powertransfer and lightweight design afforded by PF86 with the silky smooth spinningof those famous ceramic ball bearings. Enjoy increased speed at the sameeffort, or save up the watts for a race winning move with this bottom bracket. Reducing friction not only saves watts, allowing you to ridefaster with less effort, it helps the component last longer. The Danes atCeramicSpeed are downright obsessive in its quest to reduce friction which iswhy it offers bottom brackets for almost every standard on the market. And ifyou loathe friction as much as the crew at CeramicSpeed and want to optimize yourbike to go as fast as it can, upgrade your bike with one of its bottom bracketsand enjoy reduced friction as well as better resistance to contamination andcorrosion. Compared to steel ball bearings, CeramicSpeed's balls resistcorrosion, which is in part responsible for why bearings start to feel grittyas they age as well as causing the bearings to run hotter which reduces thelifespan of the component. CeramicSpeed balls are also much harder thanstandard steel ...
