    Ceramic is a buzz word.
    Ceramic bearing only come into play at speed we can't reach.

    Long short is crash a spindle with ceramic bearings in and they are toast, decent steel bearings which can easily stand 24,000 revs with the right lubrication can withstand a crash provided it's not monumental.

    Drop a block of steel on a tiled floor, which one comes out best ?
