Clean them out and lube them with light machine oil. If you're gonnna drop the coin for the ceramics, you may as well get the performance out of them...

so normal bearing oil is fine then, it is safe on the ceramic?

i race 540 & stock so i am chassing the lowest rolling resistance posible , so keeping the greese in them is out of the ?

I usually clean out the bearing grease with a can of degreaser then I run them dry. I also race 540 so all the speed you can find helps a lot. They don't last very long, but they sure are fast. If I want the bearings to last longer I use Speed Bearing Lube or Triflow. The Speed bearing lube is the type they use for inline speed skating.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick
