These definitely protect my bearings from some of the dirt and sand that I'm forced to go through when commuting. Help my bearings last longer for sure.

I like the idea and it seems to work well. The one thing I do not like is the nylon washers for the back side... they rub against the bearings. They had to go!!! I would recommend coming up with another method of shielding the inner bearing. I am still working on a better method for myself. Have had some ideas but need to get to a better hardware store since I live in B.F.E.

They do cover the outer bearing great. I could see a distinct difference when I took the wheels off after one week. They do help keep dirt out of your bearings! The built in speed washer on the nylock nut/"rim" works good.

They look a little cheesy but after I got used to them I like the way they look.

Well these little buggers are kinda useful. They definitely keep your bearings a lot cleaner but they look a bit cheezy. If you want your board to be the pimp machine, these are perfect. The plastic inside of the threaded part broke and got all crunched up when I first put them on, however I have been able to easily take them on and off without issues since.

I didn't think these would work and that they were all for looks. I was wrong! I used to clean my bearings twice as often as I do now. They wear out after taking them on and off a lot but so do all loctite nuts. A good investment that keeps your bearings running smooth and pimps yo ride!
