... in my skates for a month and it was like skating in a wind tunnel
Used them in my skates for a month and it was like skating in a wind tunnel.. Don't wast your money.There are much better bearings on the market. I use the Bone ceramic that are incredible.

Not as pictured! Bearing themselves seem good though.
Just a heads up, these don't come as pictured! There is no speed cream/lube included as it shows in the picture. The bearing themselves seem to spin good so far compared to my Bones Swiss bearings. They are quieter and spin just as long but I haven't tried skating on them to see how they feel yet.

Faster than Bones Swiss, with the worst free spin you've ever seen.
I've been tinkering with different types of bearings and fast skates in the past year. My skates include 84 and 100mm 4 wheel macroblades with hydrogen wheels, the 3WD macroblade with 125mm hydrogen wheels and 3WD Endurance with 125mm TLTF Halo/HydrogenPro wheels. The bearings I've tinkered with are Bones Swiss 6 and 7 ball, ILQ 9, Moto, and now Yolo. The Yolo is about on par with the Bones Swiss 6 and 7 ball. And probably faster. I did a right/left comparison with the Yolos and Motos in the 84mm and there was no contest. I did a right/left foot comparison between the ILQ 9 and Yolo yesterday on the skate floor with 125mm hydrogens. While both bearings are smooth, quiet, and fast, the Yolo felt a little bit smoother and faster on the right foot. It was somewhat unexpected because the free spin of the Yolo is quite terrible. The greasy ILQ 9 could free spin for much longer. However, when I cleaned and dried off the Yolo, put it in a 100mm wheel, gave it a hard spin by hand and put it on the table to time it, it would spin for 12 minutes. That's right, the dry bearing would spin for 12 minutes even. I've never seen anything like it in my life. The bearing by itself would spin for a whole minute. Add one drop of oil and the spin in the 100mm wheel is down to 2.5 minutes. But after I put the Yolos in both skates I knew without any doubts that they are faster than the ILQ 9 bearings. I could glide and mean just gliiiiide! The bearings don't like going slow. The faster I went the smoother and faster they got. The Bones Swiss 6 are in my speed skates and are amazingly fast. And I wonder if I can tell the difference between the Yolos and Swiss 6 in the speed skates. I don't think the rink is big enough for that test. But I would put a bet on the Yolos coming out just barely ahead.I bought these directly from Yolo. I would recommend using the Yolo oil over speed cream. Or any very light thin oil. It's doens't need much. a small drop on one ball. Running dry will cause the steel to get too hot.update: the Yolos are by far and away faster than Bones Swiss and Bones Swiss 6. The Yolos made my 100mm skates feel as fast as the 125mm 3WD skates with Yolos. The wheel size didn't matter much on the skate floor with these bearings. Outdoors, the difference was less noticeable.
