I fitted enduro ceramic hybrid bearings last year to my miche hubs, they lasted around a month in the rear hub, used twice a week at the track. probably damaged when fitted, ceramic bearings dont like rubber mallets!
taking them out I ruined one side of the hub, inside. was using a screwdriver and got a bit aggressive...
has anyone used 7001 angular contact bearings in miche hubs? in theory they should work fine, tho with better locknuts as the originals dont seem to hold tight so well. I think that was a problem with the last gen of Surly hubs and their new hubs they switched to standard single row bearings
