So in follow up to the response I got from BBInfinite, I expressed surprise at their response, noting that lots of bike industry people recommend NTN and SKF bearings, then I asked again what kid of seals they use to get such low resistance bearings. I got the following response (I seem to be annoying them).
We make our own bearings to our own specs to make the user as fast as possible. We cater to people who understand the nature of the sport, it’s purpose, and why we all do it. There are people who want to be perceived as the smartest, and then there are the ones who want to be the fastest. The fastest guy wins a bike race. That is what you need to understand. Or not. Some do. Some never will.
It appears their target market is the wattage wienie crowd. Nothing wrong with that if your only concern is getting the most performance for a race or two.Those of us more concerned with durability will look to the industry standard bearers.
