Ceramic wheel bearings
To replace your wheel bearings, identify the exact hub model and generation. Two wheelsets from the same brand may require different bearing kits.

The right bottom bracket for your frame and crankset
CyclingCeramic supports a wide variety of configurations: BB86, BSA, ITA, T47, T47A, T45, BB30, PF30, BB386, BBRight, BB90 and BB65, plus other standards according to the product. There are solutions for recent bikes as well as older or less common frames.
Many models cost around €140–150, depending on the standard and exact reference. Compatibility starts with your frame’s bottom bracket shell and the crank spindle: 24 mm, SRAM DUB or 30 mm.
| Frame standard | Options to look for | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| BB86 / PF86.5 | 24 mm Shimano / Rotor; DUB versions and other conversions where listed | 41 mm shell bore, shell width, road vs MTB |
| Threaded BSA | 24 mm, DUB or 30 mm depending on the product | Shell width, thread specification, external cup clearance |
| T47 / T47A | 24 mm, 30 mm and DUB; inboard or outboard cups | 68 / 77 / 86.5 mm shell widths and potential asymmetry |
| ITA / T45 | Specific threaded solutions | Exact standard, crank spindle and frame generation |
| BB30 / PF30 / PF30A | 30 mm setups, 24 mm conversions and variants | Internal diameter and actual shell width |
| BB386 / BBRight | Frame- and spindle-specific versions | Offset, shell width and available space |
| Trek BB90 / Look BB65 | Dedicated product references | Frame model year, generation and original setup |
Before ordering: do not rely on your bike brand alone. Check both the frame standard and the crank spindle. Our finder can help identify a compatible reference.
Derailleur pulleys · keep your original cage
A simple, accessible drivetrain upgrade
Ceramic pulleys let you improve your drivetrain without replacing the complete derailleur cage. This is a practical way to upgrade selected components rather than the whole system.
Keep your original cage and replace only the pulleys designed for your derailleur. Options for Shimano 12-speed groupsets are among the available products.
- A good option for a gradual component upgrade.
- Available for modern groupsets, depending on the reference.
- Suitable if you want to retain the original derailleur cage.
Oversized cages · Race, Pro, Aero & GRX
2026 oversized cages: find the right model for your riding
CyclingCeramic oversized cages offer some of the strongest value in their European category. They are backed by years of development, refinement and real-world feedback. The 2026 lineup addresses road versatility, fast riding, aero-focused setups and gravel, with different colours and selected Shimano / SRAM compatibilities.
| Range | Main use | Key features |
|---|---|---|
| Race | Versatile road cycling | Accessible entry into oversized cages, open-design pulleys, sporty appearance, several colours and strong value. |
| Pro | Performance road cycling | A more premium approach, with solid pulleys and refined finishing. |
| Aero | Time trial / triathlon / fast road riding | A more streamlined cage designed with aerodynamic use in mind. |
| GRX | Gravel | A dedicated solution for compatible gravel drivetrains, focusing on durability and suitability for off-road riding. |
Always confirm compatibility using the exact rear derailleur model and cassette. A SRAM AXS road cage is not automatically compatible with every SRAM drivetrain.
Wheel bearings · hub-specific kits
Precision bearing kits for demanding riders
Wheel bearings are a more specialised upgrade, especially relevant when servicing premium wheelsets. To select the correct bearing kit, identify the exact hub model and generation. This is particularly important for Zipp, whose wheelsets use several generations of hubs.
The Zipp 12 kit is among the options available for compatible ZR1 SL hubs. If you are unsure which hub you have, consult the wheel bearing guide before ordering.
Ceramic bearings and performance: what really matters
Ceramic bearings, pulley wheels and oversized cages can help reduce certain sources of mechanical friction. However, the actual benefit depends on the starting point: the condition of the original bearings, alignment, installation, lubrication, riding conditions and test method.
- Technology: grade 3 Si3N4 ceramic balls on applicable references, with high hardness, low friction and excellent corrosion resistance.
- Fit: accurate compatibility and careful installation matter as much as the component itself.
- Durability: the goal is not only lower mechanical losses but also consistently smooth, reliable operation.
- Velo-Perso advice: prioritise proper fit, installation and maintenance over watt-saving claims made without clear test conditions.
In practice: a correctly fitted bottom bracket, compatible pulleys and a well-maintained drivetrain are the best starting points for getting the most out of CyclingCeramic components.
Why buy from Velo-Perso?
Expert compatibility advice makes a difference
Velo-Perso has supplied and advised on technical cycling components since 2009. With CyclingCeramic, choosing well means more than selecting a brand: frame standards, spindle sizes, derailleur generations and hub references all matter.
- Bottom brackets: match the frame shell and crank spindle.
- Pulleys: check the groupset and derailleur generation.
- Oversized cages: verify the exact rear derailleur and road, gravel or aero application.
- Wheel bearings: identify the hub model, generation and, where relevant, freehub configuration.

Frequently asked questions about CyclingCeramic
Which CyclingCeramic bottom bracket do I need for a Shimano 24 mm crankset?
First identify your frame’s bottom bracket standard. A BB86 road frame with a 41 × 86.5 mm shell needs a different bottom bracket from a BSA or T47 frame. Spindle diameter alone is not enough.
Does CyclingCeramic make bottom brackets for SRAM DUB and 30 mm spindles?
Yes. DUB and 30 mm options are available for several frame standards. SRAM DUB is not the same as a 30 mm spindle: choose the version specifically designed for your crankset.
When should I replace my bottom bracket?
Replace it when its bearings are worn, during a new build, or when upgrading to a compatible ceramic model. Always confirm your frame standard and crank spindle first.
Ceramic pulleys or an oversized derailleur cage: which should I choose?
Ceramic replacement pulleys are the simpler upgrade because you keep your original derailleur cage. An oversized cage is a more extensive drivetrain upgrade, with Race, Pro, Aero and GRX options for different riding needs.
What is the difference between Race, Pro, Aero and GRX cages?
Race focuses on versatile road use; Pro offers a more premium performance-oriented configuration; Aero is aimed at fast road riding, time trials and triathlon; GRX is designed for compatible gravel drivetrains.
Can I fit a CyclingCeramic cage to any SRAM AXS or Shimano Di2 derailleur?
No. Compatibility depends on the exact derailleur model and generation. Road, gravel, XPLR and older versions are not interchangeable.
How many watts can CyclingCeramic components actually save?
There is no reliable universal figure. Any reduction in friction depends on the components being replaced, their condition, installation, chain lubrication and the test method.
How do I choose CyclingCeramic wheel bearings?
Start with the exact hub model and generation, then verify the bearing dimensions or use the Velo-Perso wheel bearing guide. The wheel brand alone may not identify the correct kit.
Do CyclingCeramic bearings need special maintenance?
Like other high-quality bearings, they benefit from suitable maintenance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, avoid high-pressure water jets and use appropriate service products when required.
