Review on 🛹 Mini Skater 16 PCS Black Generic ABEC 9 Longboard Bearings - High Precision 608 RS Skate Ball Bearings (Black) by David Reyes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disappointing. I will stick to my old guidelines and not trust these things importantly.

Sorry. Terrible quality control. Accuracy and ABEC 9 should not be used in the description. They are stock only. I had to assume they wouldn't be good for the price, also because ABEC is an American rating and they were shipped from China (which doesn't always mean a bad product, just mass production and often inferior quality). I was hoping that by choosing ABEC 9 I would get at least something comparable to the ABEC 5 rating. When I got them I uncapped 7 of them to inspect them before use and found at least three Sets of camps completely different styles. All pretty inferior. In one set there are real ball bearings and a bracket, in the other "brass". Breeds, and all others, have terrible tolerances, some with discoloration. To inspect them more closely, I removed most if not all of the grease (using a degreaser and an air compressor) and rotated them by hand to inspect. They are nothing special in terms of spin quality and noise and almost comparable to my used bearing set from my old inline skates. Maybe I missed the words "used" in the description? Anyway, I'll stick with my old bearings for now and get a quality replacement set from a local store and then probably give these things to my nephews to see if they can use them on a spinner toy. While I doubt they'd be worth it, they probably shouldn't be sent back, so I lose. I plan to add photos when I get a chance.

Pros
  • Pre-lubricated grease for RPM
Cons
  • Operating RPM
