Review on ๐Ÿ›น 100-Pack of Sealed Skateboard/Inline/Rollerblade Skate Bearing Ball Bearings - Red Seals, 608-2RS VXB Brand by Corey Vaz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Spinner in a high school classroom

Not a bad camp, but not great either. At about $0.30 each, the LOT of these bearings is excellent. But be careful, you get what you pay for. I bought these bearings for a school project where students are designing and 3D printing their own spinners. When these bearings were installed, they rotated slowly and for a short time. I can only assume that the viscosity of the grease was too high. As an experiment, a student removed one side of a bearing and sprayed rubbing alcohol inside, diluting the lubricant and helping the bearing rotate much more freely (with very little stress). We will then try to use some degreaser in the bearings and then re-lube with a much thinner oil. TLDR: If you use these for a spinner or two, you may be disappointed with the quality of these bearings. Spend a little more for a bearing with a higher ABEC rating. If you're looking for lots of bearings at a great price and don't mind experimenting with different lubricants, this is a good value.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
