BonesReds Bearings 8 pk w/Spacers & Washers Bundle

Why did you pick this product vs others?:They don’t get much better than Bones. Solid, reliable bearings.

They roll smooth. Reliable bearings with a solid reputation and long history. Can’t go wrong with reds

After 20 years, I still use these as my go to set of bearings!! These are Swiss grade bearings, but they are made in China. That is it. They have the Teflon retainer and everything is the spec of a Swiss grade bearing. It is just made in a different country for less money. Anyway, that's how they used to sell them 20 years ago. I'm sure it's not politically correct to say that now. Anyway, buy them! They are very very fast right out of the box and when they wear and they are some of the fastest bearings that money can buy. For the price, they are absolutely unbeatable. You will not be disappointed with these for your skateboard!

My package arrived way quicker than I'd imagine. It fit perfectly. The product itself is phenomenal and I highly recommend it due to the improvement in my skateboards performance. It gave a smooth, fast, skating feel.

Holy cow! I just replaced the bearings on my kick scooter. Before changing, I flipped my scooter upside down, set a timer, and gave it a solid hand spin. My wheel spun for roughly 20 seconds. After replacing it with reds, it spun for over 1 minute. This should make life a little easier!

Functionality:Spins majestically, like magic reallyDurability:very durable material but be warned that the spacers are made of PLASTIC. The bearing covers are extremely high quality, and the bearing balls and bearings themselves are god-tier, but if you don't have your own aluminum spacers like I did, you are kind of screwed. Value for money:Worth every penny.Spinability:absolutely perfect engineering. I am impressed as a semi-professional skater.Rollability:They are quiet, fast, and feels like you are skating on ice from how smooth they are. The only problem is the plastic spacers which can easily by replaced by a standard aluminum 8mm spacer.

I ordered 16 in total for a pair of inline skates. Just received the bearings and installed them. All of them seem spinning freely, and there is no play. Cannot comment on the longevity and performance yet, but want to point out that these bearings are not sealed or permanently lubricated. What's covering the steel balls is just a dust cover. They came oiled, but it doesn't hurt to add a drop of light machine oil during installation. These are all consistent with the current product description (as 2/28/2025).1. "Single, non-contact, removable rubber shield for easy cleaning and less friction"2. "Pre-lubricated with Speed Cream racing lubricant"This also means that1. they're not compatible with water or mud. if the skates rolled over puddle or mud, be prepared to clean and lubricate the bearings afterwards.2. They may need a drop of oil before/during/after season. As long as your bearings are not covered in dust/dirt, to lubricate your bearings, you can just add a drop of oil to the center of each bearing and spin it. The oil will sip through the gap between the dust cover and inner ring.The bad experience from some reviewers may be related to these.BTW, please read the manual coming with the bearings. It has a lot more information that I expect. What is in the manual is consistent with the design of the product.

Amazing bearings would buy again, would recommend, the smoothest bearings I have ever experienced. I was genuinely surprised by their performance after my first test ride. Well done
