Are ABEC 7 bearings fast?
ABEC 7 bearings would be very fast and smooth, but very expensive. Plus, you start to run the risk of needlessly damaging them if you skate hard or aggressively. Note that some inexpensive foreign-made ABEC 7 bearings may not deserve this rating.
Are 608RS bearings good?
We recommend 608RS or 6082RS bearings to skaters who want faster rolling bearings, and don’t mind looking after them if they skate in the wet. A “2RS” bearing has two shields rather than one – we recommend a single shield like Bones Bearings for easier cleaning and less drag.
Whats the difference between ABEC 7 and ABEC 9?
The ABEC rating system includes grades 1,3,5,7, and 9. The higher the ABEC rating, the tighter the tolerances are, making the bearing a more precision part. High precision and small tolerances are required for bearings to function at very high RPM, in products like high speed routers that must spin at 20 to 30,000 RPM.
What does 608RS mean?
Rubber shield
EG 608RS or 6082RS. “RS” simply stands for “Rubber shield.” It specifically denotes a “Non Contact” rubber shield, which only contact the outer race – not the inner. Sometimes you will see “2RS” on a bearing code – this simply means that both sides of the bearing have rubber shields.
What are the worst skateboard bearings?
In my opinion, Bones Reds Ceramics are one of the worst skateboard bearings you can buy….You can buy 4 or 5 sets of G2’s for the price of a single set of Bones Reds Ceramics.
- Way too expensive.
- Still require maintenance and lubrication.
- Aren’t faster compared to standard Bones Reds.
- Don’t last much longer.
What bearings do speed skaters use?
BankRoll Ceramic Bearings – (most popular) They are rated ABEC-9 (sized 8mm) and roll great with any modern wheels. These bearings are intended for advanced skaters, skateboarders, inline skaters, or speed skating.
How do I choose Rollerblade bearings?
Number of Balls Six-ball bearings use slightly larger balls that generate less friction and spin faster and longer in ideal conditions. Conversely, the extra ball in eight-ball bearings helps them more evenly distribute your weight and better handle the side loads that are ever present in skating.
Are bones big balls good?
This makes BIG BALLS a great choice for skaters looking for more speed and longer life in their bearings. Skaters have made the Bones REDS family of bearings their #1 choice because of the consistent quality, speed, durability, and value….Specifications.

What does ABEC mean for rollerblades?
Annular Bearing Engineering Committee
ABEC stands for Annular Bearing Engineering Committee, the committee that rates bearings all over the world. In this system, the scale uses odd-numbered levels 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, with 9. The higher this number is the tighter the tolerance of the bearing and the better the degree of precision of the bearing.
Are big balls better than REDS?
Fact check: Bones BIG BALLS vs Bones REDS According to Bones, this has a few advantages: higher top speed, since the larger balls rotate longer. higher resistance and durability – less susceptible to dirt and impact. low weight – in comparison, the bearings are probably somewhat lighter than REDS.
