Product Questions
Q: What size bearings do I need?
A: Most skateboards and roller skates use 608 bearings (8mm inner diameter, 22mm outer diameter, 7mm width). All our bearings are standard 608 size.
Q: How many bearings do I need?
A: Standard skateboard: 8 bearings (2 per wheel). Some longboards with larger wheels may need 16 bearings.
Q: Do I need spacers?
A: Our bearings come with built-in spacers, so no additional spacers are needed. This ensures perfect alignment and simplifies installation.
Q: Are your bearings waterproof?
A: While not fully waterproof, our titanium coating and ceramic balls provide excellent corrosion resistance. They perform well in wet conditions, though we recommend drying them after exposure to water.
Maintenance Questions
Q: How do I clean my bearings?
A: Remove bearings from wheels, soak in citrus cleaner or bearing cleaner, spin to remove dirt, dry completely, then apply 1-2 drops of bearing oil.
Q: How often should I clean my bearings?
A: Depends on usage. Street skaters: every 2-3 months. Park/ramp skaters: every 1-2 months. Indoor skaters: every 3-4 months.
Q: What lubricant should I use?
A: We recommend light bearing oil for speed or light grease for durability. Avoid WD-40 as it attracts dirt.
