Thes bearings worked great out of the box, they rolled like Reds, but now, they are really loud and chunky sounding and only roll for about fifteen seconds. Good for clean roads, but if you ride hard, ride Bones. Great for beginners though.

When i recieved these with my new lime big zigs i was pretty stoked but the from my first push i knew something was up bc they couldnt hold there speed and their acceleration was sub par (they were smooth and quiet though ill givwe them that). I opened them up and i found out that the lube was all gummed up and thick instead of thin and smooth and even after i cleaned them they still couldnt hold the rotation. I think i got a bad batch but im just warning ya that theyre out there. --- Dan Loveland Writes - J, we found that some of the bearings we received had metal cages with a lube that is heavier than we expected. The next batch of bearings will have nylon removable cages with a much thinner lube.

These bearings are excellent. My bone reds only roll 45 seconds. These rolled 2:45 out of the box. They roll much better, are faster and accelerate easier. Low price too, im just going to buy these in the future, much superior to the bones.

these bearings are fast and really high quality. good price, and the shield keeps the dirt and grease out of the bearings. REDONCULOUS!!! =P

You really can't beat the price for how good these bearings are. I would say they are better than Reds. they hold their speed on bumpy roads, accelerate quick, and the shields keep things very clean.
