I know they have a bad reputation, but I’ve got over 10k miles on the one on the Pre Cursa and 7k miles on the secondhand ceramic blackbox 1 I paid £10 for on ebay because “it’s shagged, but useful for spares” needed a clean and a bit of grease. Thinking about it I’ve had 6 of them and only had 1 fail. After removing and replacing it after a repaint.
Internet does too much of a big deal of BBs, but in the end there's just two sealed bearings, cups in most cases and two dust seals.
I see plenty of ceramic speed ruined at work, doesn't mean it's bad.
