I thought ceramic bearings was maintaiance free...............
They have the same style of rubber seals as the standard bearings, so they can be easily degreased. I use brake cleaner to degrease my bearings - the same stuff I use for the standard bearings.
Any types of bearings will need to be cleaned and lubed, otherwise they won't run free - Ceramic bearings are harder wearing, but it is better to look after them just as well as standard ones.
