Bones REDS Skateboard Bearings 8 Pack

Awesome

Product as described

Theyre the iconic bearing of skateboarding today, and they live in to the standard. Ive been riding with Reds for 10 years and Ive yet to find a better bearing. Definitely worth.

They may be cheap but dont underestimate them. I put these in my freelines and they are infinitely better then the bearings they came with. A buddy of mine put swiss 6 in his which are way more expensive and I can honestly say neither of us could tell the difference. So save your money and get a set or 2 of these.

My little nephew had purchased one of those spinning fidget toys a few weeks ago, and I thought to myself I can make one of those... Since I have a 3D printer, I decided to give it a shot. The bearings in his OEM assembled toy had a red color in them, so I figured thats what I needed to look for. So I purchased the Bones Reds versions here. Once they came it, they looked identical to his toys version. Examining them out of the box, they seemed a bit tight on turning but I figured thats just new, and they will wear in... After printing the carrier part of the toy I inserted the Reds into the part carefully and gave the middle bearing its first spin. It did nicely, but not perfect. I quickly noticed that it would not spin nearly as long as the toy my nephew had, and at some points there were small but noticeable bumps in the spinning. Or, the spinning is not perfectly smooth at all times. They are not big bumps, and the spinning did improve a bit over the past few days. Still they just dont seem quite as precision as the bearings in the OEM toy. So, while Im enjoying my home-made spinner with these, I cant give them the 5 stars I was hoping to give them. YMMV of course.

Theyre completely silent when you spin them by themselves and stay spinning for like 2 minutes straight. My previous bearings were almost completely dead so the difference was very noticeable while riding; its alot easier to push and theres a lot less drag. Also Ive been riding them for a few weeks now even through dirt and wet sidewalks and they havent slowed down a bit. Considering the price I cant imagine buying any other bearings, if these ever need to be replaced I will definitely stick to this brand.

Each skater should get Bones Reds beacause they are the best bearings ive had. They are low priced and very good quality. I suggest you buy these bearings.

Best Bearings ever!!! if you want even better, get the ceramics. A bit pricey but, way worth the better quality and life. The ceramics will just keep rolling like new forever. These you have o clean quite often depending on how often you ride. They will also rust if wet and getting bearings wet is quite inevitable. . It will happen if you ride a lot. I realize though skate parts will need to be replaced often, thats also inevitable

Got these for my grandsons roller blades. He really likes them.

Im 69 so I didnt use these bearings in a skateboard unfortunately, but in the project I needed all seems well so far.
