100 Pack 608-2RS Skateboard Bearing, Rolling Bearings, 8x22x7mm 608rs Bearing

These are nowhere near quality bearings, but they are great for makers who use bearings in their projects and need the quantity without breaking the bank.

Multiple already rusty within packaging.

these are the worst bearings ive encountered on amazon as of yet, the price really was too good to be true. they arrived super sticky as if they used sugar water as a lubricant. they also require many pounds of force before they even roll. do your self a favor and do not buy

I thought I could make them work as budget bearings for my skates, and I followed another reviewers recommendation to take them apart, degrease, and reassemble with proper bearing oil. After doing all that, they still were LOUD and rattled really badly. One of the bearings exploded during a practice after only a couple weeks. I havent even tried to use the rest of the bag. What a waste.

The value

Yup, they are bearings. But would not give above a C rating for condition, even at this price. Packing was lacking. All just in a big bag. I found at least 3 different labels on the seals so thinking its a mixed batch of brands. Probably why some seem ok and some not so much. Also cleanliness control was lacking somewhere. as several of them have heavy grit all over. Normally would not care that much, but considering the seal is questionable on many of them as well, its likely the grit got into some. Wanted to use out of the bag, not have to clean and re-lube before use. One seal was missing a part altogether, and others have gap where you can see the bearing inside. Would have been just as well to get non-sealed bearings.

Used product for various projects, and liked that there were lots of them for cheap.

Don’t spin as freely as I would have hoped ended up buying another brand to be able to do what I was trying

Overall very decent bearings for fidget spinners. Not Amazing, but the affordability alone makes these bearings a competitive product and after thoroughly cleaning them they worked well and spin for a decent amount of time. If you are using these bearings to make spinners as gifts (as I did) then these will work just fine. If you are making them to sell… I would probably pay just a little more for a higher quality bearing. I am not sure why I liked the “single lip contact seals” of these bearing so much but they were very easy to remove for cleaning and better yet easy to put back onto the bearing afterwards. Just don’t pry them up where the “608RS” is stamped as they are thinner there and are more likely to break in that area. Taking everything into account I would say that you get a good bearing for the price. The only thing I didn’t like (which cost a star 4/5 instead of 5/5) was the lubricant that they used inside of the bearing. I am not sure if they used a silicon or what but when I received the bearings, they were stiff and sticky and didn’t want to spin. With other bearings I was used to having them packed with grease. This was not the case here. These bearings were hard to spin and were pretty much unusable directly out of the package. These bearings were not packed with grease (as many bearings are) and when I took them apart to clean them, I didn’t see any grease at all. As I mentioned before they seemed sticky as opposed to being slick or slippery and I had a difficult time even spinning them. I figured I would simply soak them in 100% Pure Acetone as this is usually enough to remove lubricants from bearings that I have worked with previously. Unfortunately, after soaking them for over 24 hours in Pure Acetone (shaking the container occasionally) they were still stiff and sticky! I almost didn’t believe it. I soaked them for another 24 hours and they were still sticky! I ended up having to use some Carburetor Cleaner and then an Engine Degreaser to cut through whatever was making them sticky. I was kind of shocked at how resilient this sticky substance was. After finally being able to remove the sticky stuff from the bearings they smelled pretty bad (engine degreaser smells). So, I soaked them in 100% Acetone again for a couple of days, took them out, sprayed them off with compressed air while spinning each one and then I let them dry. They still kind of smelled so I soaked them again in a clean container with fresh and clean Acetone and that seemed to do the trick. Kind of a lot of work I suppose. But once they were cleaned the bearings fit perfectly, spun well and helped make some pretty good custom fidget spinners. If you don’t feel like thoroughly cleaning your bearings when you receive them then you might not enjoy this particular product. If you are willing to spend some time cleaning and applying some of your own elbow GREASE to get these bearing clean and spinning properly then for the price you probably can’t go wrong.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was an incredibly poor quality product. I should have realized that a 100 pack of skateboard bearings would not deliver the best quality or consistency, but I bought this without better judgement. I sheared my first 2 bearings in the first week. I shredded a couple more before I finally vowed to not use these again. I suppose these cheap quality bearings could be used in a pinch, but they are slower (more friction) than good bearings, and will break WAYYY quicker than any quality materials. You will get good at riding without functional bearings if you try to use these very long.
