Read a thing about chain lube and ceramic bearings

Saw a tech sheet from a bearing maker. Said ceramic balls can actually increase friction if you use a thick wet lube. Only works right with super light oils. Anyone else run into this with high end builds?

Tbh, sounds like you paid extra just to make your bike worse.

Look at how worked up people get over bike parts. Is a slightly smoother ride really worth all this drama?

Nah, it's actually way better now. Handles rough stuff way smoother. Totally worth it for my rides.
