They deleted my reviewThey deleted my review because they didn’t like it. What I said was that you should not buy bearings from in-line warehouse buy them from skate warehouse. It’s the same thing but for skateboards, They’re still the same bones red bearings but only $18.
Served me wellReds seem like a good general purpose bearing. I used them outdoor skating on quads for about 2 years. Dirt sometimes gets into them, especially the outer wheels. I check my wheels for extra looseness and smooth spinning at every skate. As soon as a wheel spins a little rough I take that wheel apart and clean and grease the bearings. I also change the position of the wheel when putting it back on, to even out the wear. When the bearings are worn the nylon retainer starts feeling a little floppy and the balls and races get a dull finish. There is still life left in mine, as there is no play when I push/pull the wheel, but worn bearings have diagonal play in the bearing itself. It's time to appreciate that these served well and get a new set, but with dual shields to hopefully be more dirt resistant. I think 2 years outdoors - about 100 skates - is a good life and I am very satisfied.
Super fast bearingsI've had these for a year and a half now and they're just as good as day 1. Easy maintenance and super fast bearings. This is a steal.
Smooth and fastbones reds are awesome I use them for my skate board but decided to buy some for my cobalt q's since they needed new wheels I tried the combination of Labeda dynasty (standard hub) and bones reds and I couldn't believe how smooth and fast they are and I recommend the combo totally worth it.
These are a stealBones Reds are really smooth and fast and for only 30 bucks this is steal buy these bearings you won't regret it.
Only bearing I will ever useOoooooooommmmmmmmmgggg these bearings are crazy awesome they are only 30 bucks for a 16 pack that's insane for bones quality bearings there so smooth and fast straight out of the box they span for 3 mins!!! And I haven't even broke them in yet!! Bones bearings are the only bearings I want to use now :)
Fast, smooth rideIW set me up with these bearings and some new wheels and they made such a difference. What a fast, smooth, ride. Actually made me feel a little lighter on my feet. Very nice!
Go with BonesThese bearings blow away abec-9s. Forget any other bearing company and go with Bones, especially for the money!
Won't buy anything elseCrazy fast bearings. Using them on my outdoor setup on a pair of Alkali CA5s with Labeda Grippers, unbeatable. Wont buy anything else..
Best bearings for the priceProbably the best set of bearings for the price!!! I wouldn't consider anything else.
Last foreverThese bearings are incredible. They spin, easily, for a good minute or two with a kick. Definitely worth the money, and they last forever. I had my last set for almost 5 years before i just decided to replace them. These definitely compete with higher priced bearings.
Smooth and effortless speedVery smooth and effortless speed. Don't waste your time or money with abec7 or abec9 bearings. REDS are the way to go.
Best bearingsBest bearings I've skated in over 15 years of skating no need to spend more on anything else.
Best bearingsNot just best bearings for the money, but best bearings period! Bones doesn't use abec ratings because abec ratings weren't made to rate bearings for inline skates and skateboards. Instead Bones makes their bearings to withstand the abuse of inline skaters and skateboards alike. And they roll forever with little to no break in period. You take care of them, they'll take care of you.
These are a MUSTBones Reds are a MUST. For $30 you cannot go wrong. I upgraded my stock Mission Inhaler AC5 ABEC 7's with these and I tripled my spin time straight out of the box (not broken in). I paired these with some Rink Rat Hot Shot XXX 2012 Editions and I am impressed. Please do yourself a favor, if you have some stock ABEC 7's on your skates, buy these.
Great priceMy son has been rolling on the Bones Red's for about three weeks. About 4 hours a week. He loves them. He is 9 and is about 60 pounds. I don't think he is that must faster then before. Coming from stock Mission ABEC 5 that come with his skates. But I do see him skating harder & faster (No Pun intended) for longer. With the old Mission ABEC 5 I could tell when he needed to go for a rest. So I would give the a 4 1/2 out of 5. And not a five because I thought he might got a little more speed out of them. But the price is hard to beat. I would buy again.
Best value hands downEasily, hands down, the best bearings for the money. They last about 1 to 2 years (playing once or twice a week) and as long as you clean 'em every now and then, they'll keep rolling and rolling and rolling. Don't waste your money on ABEC-9s.
Insane valueInsane value for fast as poo bearings! cant go wrong for $30. Recently cleaned and lubed them, and they're spinning like new. Definitely faster and more durable than other ABEC 5s or 7s Ive had.
Amazing productGreat price for an amazing product! Keep up with cleaning and maintenance and these things can spin smoothly forever it seems! Will definitely continue using Reds!
Excellent glideSo Gordon (I think) from IW suggested these bearings when I complained about the ABEC5 and ILQ7, saying I'll get a longer, smoother glide on each lunge. Boy was he right: A longer glide and then some. Love the new experience - just finished a 10 mile roll.
Anyone wanting a free set of ABEC5 or ILQ7, send me a self addresses, postage prepaid envelope.
Stellar dealYou will not find a better deal on awesome quality bearings. Don't be fooled by the price = it is a deal. Bones Reds rock !!! Easy to clean and maintain superfast, superquiet spinning forever. Love them all day long !!
Feels like butter!I've had these bearings longer than 2 pairs of skates. I've put them in everything I've owned and the skate immediately becomes better. Your stride becomes effortless with these. Feels like butter. Get them!
