Skateboard Bearings ABEC 11 Precision 608 2RS with Spaces and Speed Washers for Longboard, Mini Cruisers, Scooter, Roller Skates, Inline Wheels (Set of 8 Pcs)

I am not a master of all skate bearings by any means, but I do know that these bearings scream in comparison to the ABEC 5 bearings that came with my Santa Cruz cruzer board. When I spin my old bearings by hand they spin for about 20 seconds. With these new bearings I am looking at 1 minute and 13 seconds of spin time and they are pretty quiet... But let me say, they “sound” fast if that makes sense. They do make noise in comparison to my ABEC 5s, but those bearings were very sluggish. The shields were easy to pop off and put back on, I used a razor blade for this. Since one of the reviews mentioned these weren’t lubricated, I hit them each with a few drops of ceramic Teflon based lubricant and put the seals back on very easily. In one kick I can make it through almost my entire apartment complex corridor, which is pretty long. Before it took a bit of effort to get through but now I slice through like butter. Going downhill these bearings build up speed tremendously fast! Be careful!

I just ordered these because I needed to add $7 for free shipping and they were one of the only ones eligible. They've really surprised me though, they're actually good bearings. With these cheap chinese bearings it's usually a crap shoot and of course anything labeled "Abec-11" is usually a good indicator of it being crap but these are some of the fastest bearings I own, and that includes bones reds/swiss, bronson raws (don't buy them, just pop your shields and soak your bearings in alcohol to remove all lubrication and you too can have "audible speed technology"), mini-logos, hard luck 6 ball, and a few other odds and ends. In fact, aside from Flip HKD 7's I'd say these are the best bang for the buck bearings I've ever had. I'm ordering another set and if they turn out to be crap I'll update this,but for right now this is a definite huge recommendation.

I bought two sets of these for my quad skates. The quality is inconsistent and the are rather noisy. There is no grease of any sort on these bearings, just as a heads up. These are definently better than the cheap abec 5's that came on my skates, and are decent for the price. (If you can stand being heard over everything else) there are just a few of the bearings that have a tendancy to grab. I will update once I add some grease and tinker with them a little more.Update: I still stand by the above mentioned but I do want to add that the seller absolutly pays attention to the reviews and cares! This review was the only "communication" I had with the seller. They took it upon themselves to send me another set of bearings because I was not completely satisfied. I added another star to my review purely for customer service!

I used these for a little Penny style board. They work great. I did have an issue with one of the bearings. It wasn't nearly as smooth as the rest of them (similar to the ABEC 5's) they were replacing. I contacted the company and they had another one shipped to me right away. I was fine with it. Now all are working as they should. I would definitely buy them again. (at the current price ~$10, there is no better deal on Amazon. These are a good deal up to about $18 / $20, but over $20, there may be some similar competition; not necessarily better, but similar). Hope this helps someone else out there.

I mean... they were $9.50 including shipping. I’ve seen other people in here compare them to Bones Reds. No. Just no. They are NOT comparable to Bones. But they also weren’t broken right out of the package. None of my wheels spin for more than 4 seconds. But at least they spin? I specifically bought these to put on a really old deck that’s already cracked , so this is gonna be my trash board anyway. I bought these not expecting much, and I got what I expected. I wasn’t disappointed or pleasantly surprised. They are bearings. 🤷🏻‍♂️

we will see how they hold up, but dang these are fast bearings out of the package. I mounted them a month ago, immediately spun a wheel with my hand, and legend has it that wheel is still spinning. They do seem to have NO oil in them so I'm expecting to have to add some at some point. These were great for my generic retro skateboard build.

Noisy and not free spinning. Do they have Any lubrications in them at all?I bought these for my daughters starter board. Will be returning or buying a different brand.

Had to replace my old rush abec 5 bearings due to them becoming a bit seized up without use. Got these in the meantime and they are amazing, very smooth and quiet. I use a panny board and I have noticed a massive difference straight away. They let the wheels free spin for over 50 seconds! Can't comment on the durability yet but great quality and a very reasonable price.
