Are you talking about the ones SR sells? Or some rando bearings? Cheap random bearings are AWFUL. I repeat, AWFUL. I bought a hundred cheap vxb on ebay back in the day. was swapping them out monthly and hating myself.

Rando cheap ones that have seen like 200 miles 
Im not shelling out money for 6900 bearings, 10mm axles suck

I’ll let you know once I test them out. Might not be for a while though since I got these for when my current bearings eventually fail and those are still going strong at the moment. I’ll do some thorough testing of them once the snow and rain come back!

all bearings with the -llu suffix have a groove for the rubber seal to ride in

Oh I forgot to mention. Loaded actually put a lot of time and sweat into their Jehu bearings. Talked to the founder back in the day. They worked on them forever, and he was quite proud of them.
Imagine if they were shit aha

@deucesdown if I know anything about you, it’s that you’re a parts-hoarder. HCH bearings are cheap, and that’s 50% of my point!! Hope they serve you well

Alrighty boys. 2 month old Zealous with less than 300 miles on it catastrophically shit out on me today. Steel, not ceramic. Taking apart after the drive home…
My fuckup for not carrying a spare bearing… but now that Zealous has let me down, what should I grab next?

Good idea. We should split this into a new “best bearings for our bikes thread” so people don’t mistakenly steal bearings for their boards.

Curious as to which wheels you were using?
Evolve hubs. May be part of the issue. Slightly loose fit made tight with kapton, but the kapton would start to scrunch up. Going to try printer paper next. 8" razor pnummies.

Was the spacing correct? Are you able to tighten the axle nut without any added binding
