I ran the same set of BB bearings on my System Six for eight years. (I'd still be running them had the frame not been broken when I was hit by a car.)

I think the bearings in the Caad 10 are ceramic. I think I am going to try Wheels Manufacturing's Angular Contact Bearings. They cost about the same as regular Abec 5 steel bearings.

Also, I cracked another Sram RD derailleur pulley. I'm not sure how I tear through those things so quickly. I think I might try one of the Aluminum options offered by Fairwheel Bikes.
