That’s what I have on my board. They are nice and think were around $65. If you got the cash get the higher priced Bones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know bones is the dominant player is bearing as far as skateboarding go, but I know SKF have been around for a very long time and have built up a solid reputation in industrial sectors. Timken Latrobe is another key player, in the bearing industry but I think TB is more so a preference in industrial sectors. I remember when I was first introduced to ceramic bearings when I was working at a machine shop in the early 2000s. Halliburton engineered a ceramic bearing we manufactured and assembled for them, some type of oil was used for lubrication. I remember being so stoked about how smooth the bearing were. I thought about what it would feel like on a skateboard or skates for that matter. If I remember correctly one of the engineering developments that made the bearing work so well was the cage is made of brass and the bearing wall had to have an #8 finish or better. We would polish the finish close to check finer than 8 in most cases. I can't remember if it checks 10 or it was just 0. I forget surface finish scale. The bearings felt like running your finger nail a piece of melting ice to describe smoothness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really skated, started getting into it as a kid, but moved and when we moved we moved to the country where it was dirt and the roads we had where the tar then gravel type. Last I remeber my greatest skate day, was when the neighbor had a half pipe and I had it down my second drop in around 10-11 years old I think ? Maybe a little younger. I just want a cruiser. Something that I can use like a one wheel. I am old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t need to be hauling ass. And most likely the board isn’t going to get used that much…..not hating, just being realistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also have the attitude, I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it amd not have it. Have it sit like you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUGR Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Just realized some funky ass liquid got absorbed into part of the box and that’s why I thought it smelled weird. Actually smells like kerosene or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
