Review on 🛹 Yellow Jacket Premium Skateboard Bearings - Pro Longboard Bearings | 608 ABEC (Pack of 8) by Isaiah Boys

This is the first time I venture away from Kostya, and I regret it. These camps have several poor quality areas. 1) They are too loose on the axles, the wheels have too much lateral play. 2) Despite being mounted flush with the wheels, the bearings themselves seem crooked and the wheels have a solid beating. 3) I understand the bearings need to be run in, but at least one wheel decelerates to a stop very quickly. 4) Makes a choppy noise like old dry/dirty bearings. It's like something is asymmetrical. Maybe it's just quality control issues and maybe they usually have a good product but every wheel has an issue and all the bearings just make different noises and things, none of which is consistent. More importantly, the first two points can easily lead to uneven or excessive wear on bogies and wheels, and this is particularly problematic. Update: Just replaced them with Bones Reds. Upon closer inspection, the spacers were much wider than the gap in the wheel, so the bearings wouldn't sit flush in the wheel. This play between the wheel and the bearing would cause severe stress between the two bearing races and increase the risk of dangerous bearing ejection. Bones have much thicker metal rings, their freewheel is much longer (tips slow down quickly), and they have smaller ball bearings (less friction). Stingers also have very large tolerances and a lot of play (which should be very small). ABEC rating). There is plenty of room between the two rings to maneuver from side to side. You can beat them somehow. There are machine marks on the side faces of the ring. The rings also have beveled edges (less surface area in contact with the axle and wheel) and if you rotate them you can see that the bevel is a bit uneven on some (changes the width of the outer surface of the ring). If you rotate them and look from the side you can see the uneven wobble that you can see on some drivers and at least one had uneven outer ring thickness. The other had jerks/roughness when rolling on the glass when turning. None of this indicates "accuracy" but it definitely indicates potential injury if you bomb the hill on it.
