Skateboard Bearings Set, Premium Longboard Bearings 608rs - High Speed Skate Bearing ABEC-9 for Scooter Wheels, Quad Skate, Inline, Roller Skates (Pack of 8)

TLDR - These are a good value replacement set; better than what came as part of a cheap set on a longboard bundle - just set your expectations correctlyI got these to put on a beater (not a cheater) board that I don't take very good care of.These bearings are a replacement for what came with the board, and they are solid.These are rated by the seller as being ABEC-9; they replace my grimy, gritty, and likely rusty ABEC-5s. I have no real way to compare other than how smooth they roll, and they make less noise than what they replace.They look and feel by weight to be the real deal, and made willEasy rolling, quiet, and by all appearance well-made albeit inexpensive.They fit the axle shafts on my trucks w/o needing a sleeve, and there is no slop… just clean machined movement.For the price, they seem to be a pretty good value.I will be looking to replace some bearings in some beat-up kids' inline skates, and Yes, I am considering getting these again.

The media could not be loaded. I put these bearings on a cheat board and these bearings are like 10 times better than the bearings that came with the board. As you can see from the pictures, one of the sides doesn't seem to have a cover which might become an issue with dirt getting in. But as you can see from the video, the wheels spends pretty well and I'm sure with a bit of a break in. It will be even faster.

These seem like solid, legit bearings. I have boards for surfskate, ldp, long boarding and all of them are currently using bones reds except for my Carver and Yow that came complete with their own bearings. I added these to a new set of wheels for a long board and I honestly can't tell the difference between these and bones. Maybe over the long run this set will shine or fail, but at least from the get-go, these seem fine. I guess it really comes down to price. Right now there's a 50% off coupon at the top of the page, so that would make them worthwhile to try. I received these for free to review them, and that's about as good as it gets lol. But at full price they're about the same price as Bones Reds, and since those are basically the industry standard, you'd need a compelling reason to go for these as opposed to those. Bottom line: if the price is right, worth a shot.

I did not get these for their stated purpose of replacing the bearings on skates. I got them for projects that I am making. For this purpose they are great. So much better than I had before. They seem solid, move smoothly, and really made a difference in the project I had.Now I have extra and I was thinking I would design and create a figit spinner. These are the size of the old basic bearings on figit spinners, but these seem…a tiny bit more resistant than I expected. I don't have a lot to compare them too but the bearings from figit spinners I took apart are about the same. I am sure they will be fine. These are silky smooth rolling, a pleasure to use.They are solid, well made, silky smooth bearings. Plus they look good.

The bearings only have seals on one side!! I ordered two packages. They both arrived the same way.Now i have to pry off dirty old seals from my old wheel to use on these.What is up with that?

The media could not be loaded. These bearings are okay. They roll. But there are better bearings out there for a similar price. I know I'm using these on wheels with the magnetic spacer which will slow them down a little bit. But they should still roll for longer than shown in my video. I would not buy again.

I put these in my inline skates for recreational use (not grinding rails and jumps or other stupid things like that) at a rink. Had to get a second set to work with all 8 wheels. But that’s expected with inline. They run quite smooth on the rink surface and are pretty easy to maneuver around on without any grinding feeling or sound from the bearings. Although I don’t change out my bearings often. If these are around again when I need new ones. I’ll get them again. 5/5

I can't speak on durability as I got these for various 3d printing projects, but they seem to be on par with some of the more well known brands. I knocked off one star for some VERY mild grit I could feel while manually spinning them. Realistically you wouldn't notice this for their intended uses, so don't let that stop you from grabbing these. Overall, I'd probably buy these again if needed. They came well lubed, are nicely machined, and seem to be perfectly in spec.
