Review on Bones Reds Skateboard Bearings Pack of 8 for Enhanced Performance and Durability by Dan Hansen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not at all what everyone says; mediocre bearing

I just received the bone bearings. Delivered very quickly as I live in Turkey. However, the bearings were horribly packaged, quite badly damaged, and honestly, despite being wrapped in some sort of transparent bag, the inner box was shattered and felt like it had already been opened. One day I started turning the bearings. , I was shocked; because there was a hissing sound (which usually happens when your bearings are dirty or broken). It's not just the hiss, it's the fact that it doesn't even take a second to stop, and the rotation feels sloppy, like the inside is broken (I can feel the roughness on my fingertips). When my old bearings failed one by one, I bought some from China and as cheap as the price, the bearings were horrendous. So I ended up looking on Amazon and found red bones and now I feel like I've been robbed (as it cost me over 300 TL conversion). Right, I can't even send them back because then I'll spend a lot of money on shipping. I know for sure these bearings won't even last a year as they are already hissing, I suspect they were either used previously and cleaned perfectly or I was just unlucky and got defective ones. In any case, I compared them with my old seba Twincam bearings, which are now somewhat broken, even after cleaning etc. You can compare the noises and thus judge for yourself whether the purchase is worthwhile. (Hint: it's not.) Do yourself a favor and set yourself up right, not these cheap ones; if you like to skate regularly like me.
