Cleaned my bearings, now I have squeaking

I cleaned my bearings yesterday, soaked them in acetone, let them dry for a while, and then put them back on. They roll great, but there is a lot of squeaking. Any answers? Is this a big problem?

Thanks,

Kyle

ha ha ha ha!! That's so funny!!!

That's like the other day when I tied my shoes perfectly....even double knotted them. But when I walked outside for work, the stones in the driveway were hurting my feet. I couldn't figure out why.

When I got to the office, one of the employees said "dude, you forgot to put your shoes on!!"

lube them before you cause damage to them

Common lubes that are easily found would be Tri-Flow or some sewing machine oil. Really any light oil. Well except maybe the edible types.

So how about grease? Would that work just as well?

Take all the bearings out and drop them down your underpants so they rest up against your balls because it's probably pretty greasy down there

I like to use 3 in 1 oil. No I don't thing grease will work. That will gunk them up. Use an oil like 3 in 1, skate oil, sewing machine oil, etc. Most lubing oils will work. Just DON'T USE WD-40 OR BIKE CHAIN LUBE. The lube should be a liquid not an aerosol spray.
