Overview
A board that gets regular maintenance is where these bearings are meant to live, since the outer labyrinth shield comes off and the rear face is left open. Micro-polished steel races and a heavy-duty cage are listed, and the lubricant is a light oil.
Serviceability is the reason to choose them, and the extra hardware in the box covers a full axle setup. Light oil is fast but needs attention, and the listing gives no rating beyond the basic class.
Who it's for
Skaters who service their own bearings get everything for an axle in one box. Anyone who wants sealed, forget-about-it bearings should choose a double-shielded type.
Pros and cons
- Spacers and speedrings included
- Removable outer shield
- Micro-polished steel races
- Light oil lubrication
- Back is not shielded
- Needs regular cleaning and oiling
- Precision rating is basic
Performance notes
A non-contact labyrinth shield blocks most dirt without dragging on the inner race, while the open back lets the bearing be cleaned and oiled quickly. Light oil rolls fast but is lost over time, so maintenance decides how well they run.
