CERAMICSPEED ball bearing OHD SLT for headset 1 1/4" | 33 x 44 x 6 mm 36/45°
Install and then practically forget about it. The products of the Danish company CeramicSpeed represent the absolute high-end solution for all dedicated bikers for whom quality and durability are paramount. The OHD (Optimized Headset Design) bearings are designed for fully integrated IS headsets, where they perform their work permanently and maintenance-free.
In contrast to hubs or bottom brackets, the ball bearings in the rear triangle or headset do not rotate continuously. As a result, grease can be pushed to the side over time and is no longer located where it is needed. The clever minds at Ceramicspeed have tackled this problem and developed the SLT (Solid Lubrication Technology) technology.
The main focus here was not on smooth running, but on a durable oil film. The stainless steel balls lie in a solid plastic polymer, which is equipped with countless micropores. These contain the lubricating fluid. It is always distributed in the quantity required for smooth running and a long service life.
In addition, the "solid" inner life prevents the seals on both sides from being pressed inwards and water from penetrating in the event of mechanical impact 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 chosen for its corrosion resistance. This means that even 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 you are only installing the best on your bike. They have tried to make their bearings fail in internal tests and have "failed", which is why a lifetime guarantee can be given with a clear conscience.
