    Default where can I get a new single bearing (1, not 8)?

    I managed to misplace a single Bones Swiss bearing (just 1 of the 8...), which is the only thing keeping me from completing a low-riding cruising/carving re-build I'm working on (a sanded/de-logoed S9 Bamboo Zen with a new/longer wheelbase, MHS Core/Indy 215s, Bennett and Khiros bushings, and 66mm 78a EW Superballs).

    Any kind soul have a spare in their tool/gear box?

    Any online stores sell them individually?

    Man I want to finish and skate this thing but I don't want to have to buy a new set just for one damn bearing and still have seven extras left...

    Ideas?

    Thanks.

    I believe you can get them in well-equipped hardware stores. Some people use "off-brand" bearings exclusively because they're cheaper and the skaters aren't always sold on Indys or whatever bearings being worth the extra buck.

    I THINK the dimensions for the bearings you are looking for are 8x22x7, that's:
    # ID (inner diameter)/Bore=8mm
    # OD (outer diameter)=22mm
    # Width/Height/thickness=7mm

    Here's one online place you can look at:

    I saw you can buy 608 (skateboard size) bearings individually at ace hardware but they're like 12$

    Yeah. Just replace your old ones with a new set, then you will have 7 used bearings for future use. I save my bearings unless they are just too borked to spin. I will send you one if you pay shipping, but for like 10 bucks (even less), you can get a new set.
