They are US based only, basically just industrial OEM grade bearings with good cheap US shipping

yep, if you haven’t tried them yet you should!

here are the 608

still questioning if these hold up to our abuse, wonder if you could run two of them in a longer bearing bore.

2rs always - Dampeing bro, as you probally know - Most shock Dampening - limits control to a degree from the user side.

However , Any Rubber from Wheels/to bearings/to Axle . Thats free dampening straight up (and yes it adds up and genuienly increases logeviety

Nothing beats skf, but i bet they are not “fast” bearings since they are industrial and use thiccc grease.

2rs does not dampen!? What are you on about :rofl: its just a better dirt seal but creating a bit more drag.

For our purpose does fast matter since the power our motors output means lots of grease doesn’t make a huge difference
That issue is more for normal skaters no?

ZZ or 2rs?

2RS, even better just RS

Edit: you probably want your grease in your bearing, use 2RS

Less dirt resistant, its more a protective impact shield, but leaves a big gap for water
