Ceramic Bottom Brackets

In 2004, long before ceramic became popular, we began working on our ceramic bearings.  We had heard of a few top pros using them and gaining an advantage over their competitors.  We tested and researched ceramic bearings for almost 12 months.  

We found that you couldn't just put ceramic balls into a bearing like other companies do and get the results you wanted.  You had to build the entire bearing with ceramic in mind.  The races, seals, retainer and grease all had to match the ceramic ball or the performance would suffer.  We perfected our bearings long before other companies hopped onto the bandwagon and tried to catch up.

As we enter our 6th year of offering ceramic bearings, we have again expanded our line-up to include options for the most popular BB systems available.  Shimano 10, FSA, SRAM, Campy, BB30, BB86, BB90, cyclocross specific BBs and more!

VCRC Ceramic Bearings are ridden by Professional Cycling Teams and thousands of Professional, Amateur and Recreational Riders Around The World!

NEW 2010 VCRC Mega Exo Ceramic BB

In Stock: Yes 

FSA Mega Exo Compatible

FSA Mega Exo BBs have been plagued by alignment issues.  The design of the crank is such that it is possible to put too much pressure on the bearings causing them to wear out very quickly.  We decided to design our own solution for FSA Mega Exo BBs.  

We start with our successful Shimano 10 BB.  Then we make 2 important changes.  We remove the plastic center sleeve and replace it with an alloy sleeve that supports the inner bearings races so the bearings do not get overtorqued.  Next we supply a crush washer to ensure proper width.
