CERAMICSPEED ball bearing kit OHD SLT for headset | Specialized Tarmac SL7/ SL8, Allez Sprint
Install it and then practically forget it. The products from the Danish company CeramicSpeed represent the absolute high-end solution for all committed bikers for whom quality and durability come first. The OHD (Optimized Headset Design) bearings are designed for fully integrated headsets IS and carry out their work permanently and maintenance-free.
In contrast to hubs or the bottom bracket, the ball bearings in the rear triangle or headset do not rotate continuously. As a result, over time, grease can be pushed to the side and no longer be where it is needed. The clever minds at Ceramicspeed have addressed this problem and developed the SLT (Solid Lubrication Technology) technology.
The main focus here was not on smooth running, but on a lasting oil film. The stainless steel balls are in a solid plastic polymer, which is equipped with countless micropores. The lubricating fluid is located in these. It always distributes the amount needed for smooth running and a long service life.
In addition, the "solid" interior prevents the seals on both sides from being pushed inwards and water from penetrating in the event of mechanical influences from outside, e.g. when cleaning with a high-pressure jet. Vertical or axial forces can also be better absorbed and distributed, which definitely increases durability.
Stainless steel was used in the material selection for corrosion resistance. This means that aggressive substances such as salts or chemicals have no chance of damaging the bearings.
The ball bearings are developed and produced in Denmark. This means that Ceramicspeed always has full control over the production process and you can be sure that only the best is used on your bike. They tried to cause their bearings to fail in internal tests and “failed”. That's why we can give you a lifetime guarantee with a clear conscience.
