Inline Warehouse Bearings offer premium speed and roll in both ABEC 7 and Swiss-rated offerings, with truly elite-level performance with our Ceramic bearings. These bearings are directly sourced and extremely affordable. We are so confident with iDub in your hub, that we stand by them with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
IW Ceramic Bearings offer elite-level performance and durability, allowing you to roll faster and accelerate even quicker. Unlike steel bearings, ceramic balls are lighter, stronger, and won't rust if they get wet. These ceramic balls have been lubricated with speed oil for immediate use and are guarded by a glass-reinforced Delrin Cage which is also removable for cleaning. They sit inside extra deep grooves too, which provide a ton of support for lateral loads and overall increase the lifespan of the bearing.
IW Swiss Bearings are built with extra deep ball grooves that provide better support for lateral movements, require less maintenance, and increase durability. The high-quality chrome steel bearings are held by a glass-reinforced Delrin cage and come pre-lubed with speed oil so that they spin right out of the box with no break-in necessary.
IW ABEC 7 Bearings have chrome steel balls and polished races that help ensure you get a clean, efficient spin and long-lasting durability. High-speed, precision molded nylon retainers are similarly pre-lubed with speed oil so there is no break-in time.

Comments: I got these during the 50% off promotion when bought with a set of wheels, and they're nice bearings. They roll well, go fast, and IMHO are easier to maintain than non-swiss bearings. After skating these out, cleaning them, and putting them back on my skates, I'd rate these alongside my Super Reds bearings. Will definitely keep them in my bearing rotation for as long as they last.

Comments: These bearings are the bees knees. I went from some old worn out bearings to these and it was a night and day difference. No oiling required so i just popped them in and played a game in them and they were great from the beginning. Picked these up on special and its the best $30 I could have spent.
