Bones REDS Skateboard Bearings 8 Pack

I just got these bearings today and I can tell theyll work really nicely on my stereo vinyl cruiser skateboard. These are a great replacement to stock bearings that come in skateboards. I skated inline speed skates for 7 years and uses Bones Ceramics (more expensive/better quality) but I would recommend these Reds for skateboards. They look to be durable enough and once broken in, you get a lot more speed and distance with less effort from yourself.

the standard for entry level skateboard bearings.

Excuse my title, i simply used it to get your attention so i can tell you how fantastic this product is. I replaced my abec 7s with these and its amazing how much faster they are! For such a cheap price, these are the amazing and definitely worth the price! I would recommend these over the super reds any day because for more than half the price, you get pretty much the same product. The supers last longer according to bones, but really ive never heard of a bones bearings going bad in the first place. I made the mistake of going for a ride when it looked a little stormy, and before i knew it i was wade-riding through mini street rivers. My bearings came out of that mess in perfect condition and still ride great almost a month later.

As described

Been using these since I started riding in the 90s and theyre still solid.

these bearings are worth the money. spin time is longer and the bearing are quiet. best ive ever used reccommend to anyone

These bearings are amazing! PROS: Extremely smooth ride Quiet Fairly fast. Not as good as Bones Swiss or Ceramic, but these are better than a lot of bearings out there. Cheap CONS: Get dirty fairly easily That brings me to the most important part of this review: Cleaning I cleaned my bearings because they became dirty after much use. I used 70% Alcohol to soak them in, and then dried them using a hair dryer. I then re-lubed with Bones Speed Cream (another product I highly recommend buying). Anticipation of my renewed speed coursing through me, I stepped onto my board. I pushed and...not only did I not notice a speed increase, I noticed a slight speed decrease. Also, the bearings began to make a slight grinding sound. Tiring after a few days of this, I attempted to clean my bearings yet again (I know, really smart right?). However, upon re-installment into my board I realized that the grinding noise had in fact gotten louder. The moral of my story: DO NOT attempt to clean or re-lube these bearings in any way without being completely and utterly sure of what you are doing. Not having this knowledge ruined my first set of these bearings. However, I am buying a new set, so again I would say these are amazing bearings!

These bearings are fast, but theyre hard to clean! Ive tried alcohol, nail polish remover, gasoline, and WD-40 and it didnt work. Try to keep them as clean as you can and get speed cream!

Great bearings for the money. I have used these for freestyle boarding as well as some pretty good downhill and they have held up great.

These bearings are great to have. They are so cheap that you dont have to worry about getting dirt all in it all the time. Its also easy to take apart and clean if you have to. I do have to break them in for at least an hour of riding them and they roll even farther easier. I recommend these bearing to all my friends and have just given some as gifts. They all notice the quality of it compared to their old one. If youre low on money, this is the upgrade you should get my friend. Itll make a world of difference if youre using one of those cheap stock ones.
