Can you reference any literature or ads where Shimano claims their hub or bottom bracket bearing balls are stainless steel? They do list the ball diameter and number for their hubs but i've never seen a reference to their material of construction. The only claim i've seen for stainless steel is the spokes on their prebuilt wheels.
