Cannondale ceramic vs enduro?
I received my hollowgram crank set today and the seller told me that the bearings are not ceramic. However they are indeed ceramic, bearings have the red seals and the aluminum dust caps even have ceramic printed on them.
Anyways, I thought they were non ceramic so I bought enduro bearings before I even received the hollowgrams. Should I install the cannondale ceramics or enduro save the cannodnale ones for back up? Thanks

i doubt you will be able to tell that big of a difference between the two to matter. do keep a set as back up though.

I'd keep the crank as-is, why mess with it if it is working? Just switch out the bearing when the stock ones die out.
