Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: About 3 months
What Setup are you running them on?: I have them on my Vanguard. R2 180s, Lemon ZigZags
Typical Discepline?: Carving and cruising naturally.
How much did you pay for them?: $12
Where did you buy them?: Amazon
What are their weaknesses?: Only shielded on one side. Scary fast at first for a beginner. No hardware included--so no new speed rings or spacers in this set. Judging by the literature included in the box, it is possible for you to accidently remove the retaining ring sending little balls all over the place.
What are their strengths?: Fast, smooth rolling, hold speed well. Very inexpensive. You can do much worse with bearings that cost a lot more. While they will require more frequent maintainence--especially if you ride wet roads--they are simple to maintain. Rubber shields are easier to deal with than C-clips and are less prone to 'vanishing'. Comes with instructions and a web address to see the instructions in larger print--also directs you to instructions on how to reassembly your bearings by hand if you accidentally completely dissassemble them.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Sawblade 'Abec 7', two sets of Abec 5 steel shielded bearings of unknown origin.
Would you recommend them?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no
