How long have you been using Plaig Bearings?

2 years

Why do you use Plaig Bearings?

They are simply the best bearings I’ve ever used. Ceramic bearings can normally be temporamental, but the Plaig’s hold up so well in all my Awesomatix cars. I’m happy to say that I have never ever had to remove a single bearing due to notchyness or failure! The tolerances are also superb to prevent excess ‘slop’, which is crucial in onroad! Thankyou to Trev at Plaig for his continued support. I look forward to every race knowing I have the absolute best drivetrain available!
