Ordered a set of Velocity Aeroheat 24-spoke front wheels for my Catrike Speed from Power On Cycling. Also, ordered optional hybrid ceramic bearings, so I could run some comparative roll down tests. Was advised that ceramic bearings are a waste of money.

 
Look forward to your comparison, I haven't gone forward with mine.

Not going to do any comparison, as Power On has gone ahead and installed high-quality stainless steel bearings in the hubs. Power On confirmed that there's just no benefit to using ceramics. I have the same belief, and my original intent was to confirm it. I'm using the money I would have spent for the bearings to buy something beneficial (A couple of 10-speed, close-ratio cassettes).
