Ceramic needle bearings

I would love to see the tolerances for both steel and ceramic rollers.....IE roundness accuracy to .0005" or better....?Energetik said:
THEN I would absolutely LOVE to see someone make a case for .000005" being infinitely better than .00005" in THIS application.

Lightweight? Negligble gain
Dirt? again I doubt thats even a factor.
Roundness? see above....
Price negates all others above, especially in this application!

By my digital calipers, they are 1.97mm, .0775 inches, and on my Ultimate Support scale, it won't even register weight, including a heavy duty zip lock bag. That says, they're pretty light....CdaleTony said:

Yes sir, .078ish sounds right recalling from memory.
The biggest advantage will be a better performing fork. Like it or not, any lubricant on those rollers is stiction and damping. I build all my forks dry, with a skin coat of grease to minimize corrosion. Once assembled I only use oil.
