Enduro Mavic Hub Bearing Kits

After a year of putting my Ksyriums through Portland rain, the steel bearings were starting to feel a little coarse. Add a couple cyclocross races to that, and I managed to seize the non-drive side rear bearing. After replacing the bearings with these, they now roll longer than the ceramic bearings in my HED Ardennes FRs. While the Ardennes have a smoother bearing, these actually roll longer. They brought my wheels back to life. For the money, hybrid ceramics are an excellent value. The bearing puller they give you is a joke so make sure you have the Park Tool bearing puller or a drift pin to get the bearings out, but other than that, this is an excellent kit.

Pros: fast and smooth bearings, only slightly more money than the replacement steel bearings

Cons: bearing puller is a joke
