CeramicSpeed UFO Bearing Cleaner
Reviewed 9/11/2024

Works as advertised

Purchased along a bottom bracket and allround grease. Wanted to replace the factory grease from the bottom bracket (long life) an so needed to first clean the bearings. It worked good, just needs to sit for a while so it breaks the outer layer of grease that bonds to the metal, then apply a little air and voil�, grease is out.

I highly recommend keeping your nose away from the cleaner... and if you are sensitive consider using a respirator.

Got on sale, good deal..

Got it on sale, was thirty something % off so compared to a usually very expensive upgrade and with extended lifetime as well as warranty; seemed a bit more reasonable and decided to spoil myself.

Construction seem high-end, haven't seen any hambini or comparable BBs in person so I'm not able to compare. Got the gravel version which is filled with long life grease; since I'm only riding in tarmac I replaced it with all round grease which seemed less thick and allowed more free rolling.

First kilometers riding, the BB sounded a bit loud, perhaps due to ceramic balls pressed against the races but then it went quieter and pedalling/rolling seemed easier.

Difference I could notice was it is now easier to beat inertia; far more noticeable when suddenly accelerating or increasing watts, if rolling at a chill constant pace I guess one would not be able to feel the difference.

Lifetime warranty is a plus, besides, bearings are serviceable compared to big 2 brands.

CeramicSpeed OSPW RS For Shimano 9250/8150

Worth it or not....

Installed along a CS bottom bracket. I can't measure watts compared to original spec pulleys but it apparently made gear changes snappier and a little faster; this in the overall run should translate in fewer or shorter "dead spots" and thus reduce your times.

It looks really cool, elegant, almost as if it came with the bike (compared to previous OSPW version). I got the alpha version which is supposed to carry a lifetime warranty as bearings are protected from contamination.

Keeps Chain Smooth, Clean and Quiet.

This is an excellent product. It applies very easily and after application, the chain feels incredibly smooth and is very quiet. This product helps the chain shed dirt, as opposed to many oil-based lubes, which seems to act like dirt magnets. Its downside is that it seems to be less resistant to rain or other moisture and for very wet conditions, an oil-based lube might be better,

A minor downside to the product is that after the lube is applied, it needs to dry at least overnight before the chain is used.
