These little pieces of spheres serve many bicycle functions that would otherwise be hard to achieve. A ball bearing is basically a type of rolling-element bearing that employs balls to reduce friction between moving parts and also to maintain separation between them. For example, the crankset won’t turn if the bottom bracket has no bearings. The same goes for the wheel hub; the freehub won’t turn freely without these balls. For top of the line brackets and hubs, click the FSA Cogs and FSA Hubs and Skewers submenus.
Ball bearings have lower load capacity for their size due to the smaller contact area between the ball and races, the room where the balls roll. This means lower friction coefficient than when two flat surfaces rotate against each other.
Popular bike components manufacturer FSA has pioneered the use of ball bearings made of ceramic. Parts such as ceramic FSA Headsets contain these type bearings. Reviewers agree that the use of ceramic has led to the durability of FSA products. Ceramic bearings were found out to be lighter, stronger and more durable than metal ball bearings. Lighter means bigger sizes of ceramic bearings can be produced. Bigger means lower friction coefficient and less room for outside particles. This means faster and smoother movement. It also means lower corrosion and need for maintenance such as lubrication and cleaning.
