Mini Skater Skateboard Bearing 7x8x22mm ABEC 9 Precision 608 RS Scooter Longborad Bearings (16 Pcs Blue Silvery)

These are THE WORST. Seriously. I bought them for fidget spinners thinking, "Hey I'll just clean them and they'll be great like most cheap bearings in fidget spinners." NOPE! This things are covered in some sort of sticky substance like pine sap that will not come off. I tried soap & water, acetone, alcohol, limonene, and elbow grease with a toothbrush. NOTHING WILL MAKE THESE THINGS SPIN WELL.They're junk. Don't order them. A few of them even had the shields on backwards! These are the rejects from the place that deals with rejects. Absolutely awful. Barely spin out of the box. Only "kinda spin" after ridiculous amounts of cleaning.

Bearings are of such low quality they may as well have been sold as used. Bearing cage is not centered thereby cage rubs against inner race.Machining is so poor on bearings & inner & outer races that the bearing rumbles like they were old worn out bearings. Seals that may as well not be fitted since they don't actually seal anything. Precision bearings these are not, they belong back at a scrap metal dealer

These bearings are well worth the price, as long as you are willing to degrease and regrease them with better quality grease than they come caked in. I thought I had an entire set of useless bearings as they were binding and felt like they had imperfections in them due to how poorly they performed out of the box. The grease is even thicker than the oil/grease that comes when metal parts are ordered from a place like Misumi. It was a dark, thick, almost tacky grease and almost completely inhibited motion.However, after some WD-40, drying them with a paper towel, and then regreasing them with Super Lube Grease they perform very well. If you are willing to spend the 10 minutes it takes to clean and regrease them, I would recommend these all day. If you want to use them right out of the Amazon package, I would look elsewhere.

Don't waste your time, they are so heavily coated in a preserving fluid that even after I cleaned them with a proper degreaser and lubricated them, they still wouldn't make a full rotation freely. Save your money and skip these, the seller should be taken off Amazon

1. These are not ABEC 9 bearings. If I were to give them a rating i would give it ABEC 1. I'm being that generous because they are actually bearings. Like the others who have commented, the only way I was able to get these things moving was to remove the shielding and put them in an ultrasonic cleaner with an automotive grade degreaser. Even after re lubricating 2 with proper bearing grease, still no improvement. Recommended uses are for homemade fidget spinners or for what i'm using them for (ungreased) as 3d printer filament spool rollers.

I bought these for my daughter's Walmart Tony Hawk Board, and while it is true that these bearings are better than the ones the board came with, it's like saying that a D+ is better than a D-. These bearings are very slow and jerky.

These bearings was not purchased with the intent of using them on a skateboard. They are actually being used for the wheels on a 72inch belt grinder. They replaced the old ones, these are better than the original ones we had. Will definitely but from again. Best part they come in their own little plastic case so they don't get lost.. thanks

Literally the worst thing i've paid for on Amazon and I've gotten a lot of things. Heavy cheap lube comes with the bearings making them stuck to each other. They dont spin at all even when you take all the lube off. Sounds like a good deal but its not, save your money.I've been skateboarding like 12years now get these off the market!!! May have to pick up some REDZ after all lol
