Garver Ceramic Bearings

[thx1971]

I bought a set of these brand new and did the wheel spin test on them and they will only spin for about 25 seconds,whats up with that? But they are pretty smooth when youre riding. I did the so called break in on them for an hour

Garver makes some great ceramic bearings
especially for the price!

don't judge them by the "wheel spin test"...
i know of a few bearings that spin plenty long by themselves and are quite terrible overall

bearings are designed to perform best with weight applied!
i.e. when you're riding them!

an unloaded free spin means NOTHING. when YOUR weight is added to th equation, there is a lot more inertia possible, so they will roll a lot longer. my bearings on y kick around deck only spin for 2 seconds, but they spin a lot more when i am rolling on it.

the "wheel spin test is wrong.

not flaming, jut trying to break a misconception.
