I have to respectfully disagree about Terrapin ceramics. In most cases - I agree - ceramic is of dubious value. However, with the TerrapinX treatment the ceramic bearings take the treatment much better than the chrome. The guy that makes them agrees citing âgallingâ that occurs with steel/steel vs steel/ceramic with the Terrapin Treatment.
The Chrome bearings are not nearly as good as the ceramic. Spend the extra $5 -IMHO.
Without Terrapin treatment, however, I agree with your ceramic observations in general.
I have ceramic terrapin xwing bearings for all my yoâs but a friend of mine showed me a trifecta and we put in my code 2. Dear lord have mercy on the speed that thing had. I can only imagine what would happen if terrapin made some of these with ceramic and treatment. I thought his treatment really didnât do much for regular steel ball bearings from what Iâve heard. That why all mine are ceramic. Would treating a trifecta be beneficial even though they are steel?
