CeramicSpeed Bearing Cleaning & Maintenance
Introduction 介紹
To preserve the highest levels of efficiency and prolong the life of your CeramicSpeed bearings, preventative maintenance is required.
Depending on climate and normal riding conditions*, you may need to maintain your CeramicSpeed Bearings more often or select a different grease. The below recommendations are based on using CeramicSpeed All Round blue grease.
CeramicSpeed Bottom Brackets and Wheel Bearings should be maintained every 5,000-8,000 km or 3,000-5,000 miles and generally last 5 times longer compared to what you would experience with a standard bearing. CeramicSpeed headset bearings can be maintained once per year for most riders.
*Hot regions (average at or above 35*C/95*F), high humidity climates, riding in extremely sandy/ desert like conditions or riding in constant rainy/wet conditions will result in more frequent maintenance needs. CeramicSpeed Long Life grease will also hold up for longer intervals in any of these conditions.
為了保持 CeramicSpeed 軸承的最佳效能並延長使用壽命，定期的預防性保養是關鍵。
根據不同的氣候條件與騎行環境*，您可能需要更頻繁地保養 CeramicSpeed 軸承，或選擇不同的潤滑脂。以下建議基於使用 CeramicSpeed 全能藍色潤滑脂的情況。
建議每行駛 5,000 至 8,000 公里（或 3,000 至 5,000 英里）為 CeramicSpeed 五通軸承與輪組軸承進行一次保養，這些軸承的壽命通常是一般軸承的五倍。對大多數的騎士來說，Ceramicspeed 頭碗組軸承每年建議保養一次。
*若您較常位於氣溫較高（平均 35°C/95°F 以上）、高濕度、沙漠或潮濕多雨的環境中騎行，則可能需要更頻繁的保養。在這些環境中，使用 CeramicSpeed 長效潤滑脂可有效延長保養間隔。
Preparation 準備工作
When possible, standard maintenance can and should be done without removing the bearings from their cup, frame bore, or hub shell. This will limit potential stress or impact damage from knocking out the bearings and reinstalling.
For cranks, remove the cranks, any spacers, and dust covers. For hubs, follow the hub/wheel manufactures instructions for removing axel end caps and/or dust covers to access the face of the bearings.
With the face of the bearing visible, use a knife edge or flat pick to lift off the bearing seal starting on the inner lip (at the inner race) and carefully lifting up. Small, smooth movements will help prevent damaging the seal during removal. Once the seal is removed, wipe both sides clean, ensure it is completely flat, and set aside. You should now have access to the individual balls inside of the bearing. Using a cloth or shop rag, wipe away grease on the face of the bearing, revealing the balls. If you see a solid ring, you are looking at the back of the bearing. There is no direction to the performance of the bearing, but cleaning and maintenance are easier and more efficient when performed from the face/front of the bearing. You may choose to turn the bearing around at this time to allow adequate cleaning and ease of future maintenance.
在可能的情況下，進行標準保養時，應避免將軸承從軸承外殼、車架孔或花鼓殼中取出。這樣可以減少因敲擊軸承和重新安裝所可能帶來的壓力或衝擊損傷。
對於曲柄，請先拆下曲柄、墊片和防塵蓋。對於花鼓，請依據花鼓或輪組製造商的指示，拆下軸端蓋及/或防塵蓋，以露出軸承表面。
當軸承表面可見時，使用刀鋒或平頭撬棒從內唇（內圈）開始，小心撬起軸承密封圈。輕柔平穩的動作能避免損壞密封圈。取下密封圈後，將其兩面擦拭乾淨，確保密封圈平整，並放置一旁。此時，您應該可以接觸到軸承內部的陶瓷珠。使用布或工業擦布，將軸承表面的潤滑脂擦除，露出陶瓷珠。如果您看到的是實心環，那麼您看到的是軸承的背面。雖然軸承的運轉方向無關性能，但從正面進行清潔與保養會更方便有效。您可以選擇此時轉動軸承，以便充分清潔並便於將來維護。
Normal cleaning 一般清潔
To flush and clean CeramicSpeed bearings. UFO Clean Bearings was developed as a non-toxic easy to use bearing cleaner. Use the pipette to add a few drops of cleaner into each bearing (Approx. 0,5 – 2,0mL dependent on the bearing size). Rotate the bearing to cause an ‘agitation’ effect inside the bearing.
After soaking for 3-5 minutes, use compressed air to flush out the grease and contamination. Repeat this process a second time if needed to fully clean the bearing. Once the bearing is visually cleaned out and rotates smoothly, allow the bearing to air dry prior to applying fresh grease. Follow grease selection and application guide at the bottom of this document for best performance and longevity. Once grease is applied, reinstall the face seal by laying it on the bearing (the all-rubber side should face out) and evenly pressing it into the groove on the outer race. The seal should sit flat and even on the bearing. Be sure to take careful note of the direction on any dust covers when reassembling the parts.
要沖洗和清潔 CeramicSpeed 軸承，可以使用 UFO Clean Bearings 軸承油脂清潔劑，這是一種無毒且可生物降解的配方的軸承清潔劑。用滴管將幾滴清潔劑滴入每個軸承中（約 0.5 – 2.0ml，視軸承尺寸而定），然後旋轉軸承以促進內部的「攪動」效果。
浸泡 3-5 分鐘後，使用氣槍吹出潤滑脂和污垢。如果需要徹底清潔軸承，請重複此過程第二次。當軸承乾淨且運轉順暢後，讓它自然風乾，再塗上新潤滑脂。為了最佳的性能和壽命，請參考文件的潤滑脂選擇與應用指南。塗抹潤滑脂後，重新安裝密封圈，將其放回軸承上（全橡膠面應朝外），並均勻地按壓進入外圈的凹槽。重新組裝零件時，請務必仔細記下防塵罩的方向
Deep cleaning 深度清潔
In the event that normal cleaning is not providing an adequate cleaning level, or if the bearings have been neglected well outside of the suggested service intervals, you may need to perform a deeper cleaning process to achieve a smooth functioning bearing again. Carefully remove the bottom bracket cups from the frame or remove the bearings from the hubs or from the frame if there are no cups, and remove all accessible seals. Place the bearings into a suitable container and submerge in UFO Clean Bearings. Agitate the bearings a few times or use a container with a lid and shake to flush the solvent throughout the bearing, letting sit for 3-5 minutes. It is suggested to use protective gloves and eyewear, as well as working in a ventilated area. Remove the bearings from the container and dry with compressed air. If fully cleaned and not permanently damaged the bearings should spin freely and smoothly now. Apply the rear seal and follow the below grease selection and application charts based on your intended use.
Using the correct bearing press & drifts, carefully reinstall the bearings into your frame or hubs, or install the cups into the frame and reassemble the remaining parts per original manufactures specifications.
如果正常清潔無法達到滿意的效果，或如果軸承已經超過建議的服務間隔而被忽視，您可能需要進行更徹底的清潔，以恢復軸承的順暢運作。首先，小心地將五通軸承從車架中取出，或者在沒有外蓋的情況下取出花鼓中的軸承，並拆除所有可觸及的密封圈。將軸承放入合適的容器中，並將其浸泡在 UFO Clean Bearings 軸承油脂清潔劑中。輕輕搖晃軸承幾次，或者使用有蓋子的容器搖晃，使清潔劑能徹底滲透到軸承內部，靜置 3-5 分鐘。建議佩戴保護手套和眼鏡，並在通風良好的區域操作。取出軸承後，用氣槍吹乾。如果清潔充分且未受永久損壞，軸承應該能夠呈現自由而順暢地旋轉。塗抹密封圈後，根據您的用途，可參考下面的潤滑脂選擇與應用指南。
使用正確的軸承壓裝工具和推桿，小心地將軸承重新安裝到車架或花鼓中，或者將外蓋裝回車架中，按照原始製造商的規格重新組裝其他部件。
