cheap bearing comparisons

[Viebster]

When you start riding, you won't even remember about your bearings. Clean them, take care of them, and you will be fine.

has anybody used rush abec 9 bearings?

how do they ride and are they any good?

Rush bearings are good bargains. Ignore the ABEC ratings, and you'll be fine.

Personally, i've had Reds, Rush, MHS and Pleasure tools. and out of all those i rate them:
1.Pleasure tool
1. MHS
2.Reds
3. Rush

tie for pleasure tool and MHS. the pleasure tools i have are sealed and have been left in teh rain about 3 times and i still use them perfectly.

If your bearings feel slow, find a steeper hill. Works every time, 60% of the time. I loved my old bones swiss, but reds feel just as fast. When it comes time to clean them is when the difference is noticeable. I could ride a day on reds and a month on swiss and the swiss would still be way cleaner. Reds are under $15 so you can buy 3 sets for the same price making them almost disposable.That, or you could buy swiss and clean them every few months.

I would consider daddies board shop bearings. Have used MHS, DBS, and ML's. DBS' are my favorite of the 3 for $12.50 a set.
