All this reading about Bearings has made me realise I have ad the same Bones Red's for 2 years? Should I have changed them by now? Two of my wheels only spin for a few seconds.

If I did get new bearings, would brand new Reds be much faster than my current ones? And If I did want to buy faster bearings than Reds, what should I go for? Cheers.

Just pop the shields off, wipe them down, chuck some lube on them and chuck them back in your wheels.

See you in 2009 for another 'do I need new bearings?' topic!

Unless the bearings are damaged cleaning them should work.

meh, change them anyway

i change mine every few months

OK I'll relube them then. Found some info online on how to disasemble them.

Any lubes you lot reccomend? For skateboarding, that is. Also, do u actually fully submerge the open bearings in lube or just pour lube into each one?

I'd just leave them




but I'm lazy.

Speedcream if you can get it, if not, gear oil/vasaline will suffice, you only need a little tiny drop too.

I've had the same bearings for longer than 2 years, and they still work fine. Well, I've had to replace a few, butother than that, they're fine.

i just got a new set of bones reds for free for posting some flyers for a freind

Cool, can I have them then?
