The Best Skateboard Bearings (NOT sponsored)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 жов 2015
- Marketing hype and lots of advertising does not make bearings faster, durable, or increase performance. Believe it or not, the best products are not always from top brands.
This video is about why Rat Vision chooses Oust Bearings above all other brands.
We chose Oust for many reasons, but to know why you must watch our other videos about ABEC, Swiss, and Ceramic bearings you'll discover what ABEC means, how tolerances are important, how "Swiss" is meaningless, and how ceramic is not good for skateboards.
• What is ABEC / Swiss /...
We also discuss how bearing loads effect performance in our video about Bearing Spacers.
• Fastest Skateboard Whe...
Axial Loads are forces applied from the side, or parallel to the axis of the bearing shaft and axis of rotation. In other simpler words, along the truck axle.
Torsional Loads are forces applied from angles that cause a twisting motion, which are against the axis of rotation. These forces come from any direction other than along the axis of rotation, or radially, which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation (axle).
Knowing how loads effect bearings, it educates us about how bearings will function while skating.
Just because a brands a lot of money on advertising and sponsoring (paying) big name pro skaters, it does not mean that their products are the best. What they may be the best at is branding, and not supplying the best products.
Branding is the ability to place a business, product, or service in the forefront of a consumer's mind.
When a brand name is at the top of your mind, you are more likely to make purchases from that brand.
Mercedes Benz is a very popular luxury car brand that is sold all over the world. However, Mercedes ranked #21 by Consumer Reports for 2015. This is a great example of how a popular brand can be perceived as being a top quality brand, when in reality it is not even close to the top.
Marketing hype, advertising, and branding have zero effect on how a product performs. What is printed in advertisements, or written on packaging, or said among friends, pros, and shop employees has NO effect on bearing speed, durability, and performance.
Slalom skating is most likely the genre of skateboarding that demands the most bearing performance.
To skaters outside of Slalom skating it may seem simple, or even stupid, to go down a hill a weave in and out of cones. How can slalom be the most demanding for bearing performance?
Simple. Slalom skaters need speed to reach the finish line first. Certain factors must apply to achieve high speeds. While skating in and out of cones the rider is constantly turning. Each turn applies axial and torsional loads that basically want the balls to roll out of the bearing raceways. During these loads high friction can occur that slow the bearings down and decrease the skaters overall speed.
In other words, the skater is constantly accelerating, slowing down, accelerating, slowing down, over and over.
To maintain high speed, by reducing friction, higher than standard materials must be used, tolerances must be adjusted, and load handling must be a factor.
Oust Bearings is the ONLY brand to actually maintain high speed, reduce friction, have tighter tolerances, better materials, and reduce axial and torsional loads.
Sure, Oust Bearings are not the top brand, sponsor the most popular pros, or have tons of advertisements.
BUT none of those things matter when you're skating.
Ads, popularity, branding, ABEC, Swiss, ceramic, skate ratings, 1 shield (or no shields), or popular pros have NOTHING to do with how well a product works.
If you think Bones bearing are better than all others because they are "skate rated", have you ever thought abut what skate rated actually means? Why is there no "rating" on Bones Bearings? It's probably because there is no Skate Rated thing does not exist!

You fit in perfectly in a 90's teen movie.
+Ruprt Which one?
+Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech Any! I think I already told you that you look like Seth Green lol
+Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech And holy shit!! you guys or whoever replied!! Not have been posting much since, why?
+Ruprt Seth Green? Ha. We'll have more videos this summer.
+Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech I don't know like I said in the past comment I made, you remind me of him in his past movies, but you generally look like you're from a late 90's, early 2000's teen movie haha Ina good way of course! and for sure!! Your videos are very useful!
[This is not an advertisement]
Remember watching this guy in middle school when I was consistently skating. Wonder where he went, always made great videos that I watched several times over.
This guy sucks
This video brought to you by Oust.
We receive nothing from Oust before or after this video.
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech LIES
✪ KnZ correct
So you did an advertisement for free? Wow.
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech bitch please
It’s 2019 and we should bring this channel back no cap
yes
2022 still no video
Don't fall for brand hype!
*Goes on to hype a product for 5 minutes straight.*
Ryan, seriously it's pathetic.
Although not as pathetic as how he talks shit about Bones at least once in EVERY video he puts out.
JakeSnake07 he does not. Unless its a factual measurable finding, he does not.
they tested the bearings...
Lukas Kuipers but he always uses bones and never any other brands wich are practically the same fckn thing
Why I don’t skate with Oust;
1. I’m broke
Oust 5 streets are 18 bucks on their website right now as dec 14 2020
There is a missing part about proof why the OUST bearings are best.
What features makes them design for axial and torsional loads?
Can you please cut or disassembly one bearing and show differences to machine bearings?
yep you're right, the proof is in the pudding, and he has no pudding....
Can you do a tear down video of the oust bearings to show us exactly what their claims mean in a literal sense?
I'm still gonna ride bones
k
+funders666 hahaha why did you watch the video?
Ethan McBeth to watch some geek give me advice, but I'm ignorant and just don't care. ill never ride oust hahaha
reds and super reds always break on me within less than a month. they're shit. I have a set of Bronsons, they've lasted me half a year so far.
+x17Chimera bronsons rock
i needed to decide which bearing to buy, but i forgot to research. i bought rush bearings because i like the band RUSH.
Hahaha that's a damn good reason
Drex33 rush are pretty good bearings
Drex33 ever rush bearing set i got blew out i switched to shake junt and they last longer last set i had lasted over a year
Eyyyy good idea I’ll do that now
Lol, for some reason rush's seem like they would be good bearings, I'd try them anyways. Rush, Modus, Bronson, FKD, Yellow jackets, and maybe Ándale's( and now maybe Oust) are about the only bearings(other than bones of course) that I'd try. I actually have 2 sets of bones big balls that I haven't tried, as well as 1 set of FKD laser swiss bearings, and 1 set of magenta plant bearings (only decent set of yellow bearings I could find). Odd that I haven't tried any of them but just getting back into skating after 8 years(wow), so I have skate park board, and a street board, and another 7.75" complete that I need to sell lol, + 1 extra set of wheels with bearings.
dude hes probably sponserd by oust oust bearings are shit
#Duci vids how about not....
Oust doesn't even sponsor people, you can't find one pro skater advertising for oust anywhere.
Pretty much every pro luge, downhill and slalom skater (you know, guys who actually need good bearings to win) ride oust bearings.
I have them myself and they're 100x better than the crappy bone cancer you have under your board.
Your username is love
woodsyhasgame boi you probably used them with a walmart board, shut up and have the trucks tight AF
woodsyhasgame "they rode like shit" just because you ride like shit doesn't make the bearing shitty lmfao
woodsyhasgame glad you know you ride like shit
My local board shop just told me when I asked then if they had oust bearings "you watch that rat vision video huh? bunch of bs" But I bought oust moc 9's and they're much better than my bones reds. After awhile my reds split sideways but my ousts are taking all the hits. Thanks for this video!
oust moc nines are the top bearing from oust so of course they will be better than bones reds which is the lowest form of bearing from bones
Finally a UA-cam channel that uses and states the facts!!!! You guys are doing an awesome job! Please keep up the good work! And if your are being sponsored by a certain brand please say so and give an honest and unbiased review on there products!!! We appreciate honesty and good work more than biased reviews!!! Please keep this amazing channel up!!!!
We know that the person who runs this account hasn’t passed away (luckily) and is still active, kind of cool to be honest even after 5 years you’re checking on ur channel and replying to people :D
I still have my first bearings Bones Reds and Speed Metal Wrecking Balls, both are still rolling after years of street shredding (note that I bought them second-hand from friends too). In my opinion, Rat Vision should post more videos about skateboard technology with depth. Bi-weekly reviews on individual bearings performance and other skateboard goods would be superb! Thanks for sharing the info, I appreciate your input greatly.
we all know you own or know someone who owns oust, you've been advertising them in all your videos since the very beginning.
No he wouldnt talk about an underrated product if it was shit he truly belives in its performence
+joe grey, I advertise some pro audio brands for they're outstanding, and THEN became friends with some people in them. Probably the same happened to Ben.
People who advertise a brand that much, with that kind of explanation, really understand why that brand is good and are crazy on how people can't think and research before buying.
The only people who advertise crappy stuff are, believe it or not, their Pro users (ironically whom people praise and believe eyes-closed).
+NeCtRiCkS so true
+NeCtRiCkS however most skaters know oust sucks from personal experience and bones are far superior
A Tribe Called Quest, you serious?! I've never been able to check Oust out, as they don't exist here in Brazil. Good to know, though! See you.
Fascinating stuff. Might have to try some Oust bearings.
Yoo josh katz, dude I saw you at Wakefield way back when
Yah you go!!!
OH MY GAWWD I LOVE YOUUUUUU
haha speaking of hype...
can you review them
Excellent and very helpful presentation on just about everything you need to know about bearings and application to skateboards.
Just test rode my oust moc airr 9! Holy moses! Huge difference! Smooth, long rolls, and better turns on my longboard. Thanks for this video!
been skating for well over a decade and I've tried a lot of different brands of bearings. I currently have the Bronson G3's, had em for about three years now and they're still going strong.
I love these bearings. I actually watched this video in hope of exactly what it taught me! A bearing actually made to withstand the twist and tension skating puts on bearings! So I got a pair and living in California, I called the actual warehouse where they came from, and I met the owners son and his buddy/coworker and they had a tremendous warehouse setup where they made a lot of awesome stuff skate related there. And so far, the blue pack bearings I got, have been the absolute best bearings I’ve ever had in my whole skate life! I’ve used reds most of my life because they’re cheap and basically just disposable bearings that work long enough for what they cost. I used to break and pop soooo many godamn bearings and even got a pack of bones Swiss for my b-day when I was like 12 or 13 when I was all skinny and weighed probably 145 only and still busted the bones Swiss so I lost faith in all bearings until I watched this video. I’m glad I saw this and got myself a pair. I’ll ride these for life even though they’re not what all the pros recommend. I will say this though. My buddy let me ride his cruiser and he had Bronson’s on them, and they were fast as fuck! But, I guarantee they would break on me if I actually skated them as every other bearing brands have done on me. THESE BEARINGS ARE MADE TO TAKE THE TORQUE WE PUT ON BEARINGS PEOPLE!! GET A PAIR!! They’re rad! THEY WORK!! I use the blue moc 5 street bearings. Theywill last longer than Swiss bones! I bet a zillion bucks! If you’re a long boarder I would still recommend the oust street bearings because I feel they’re actually the strongest bearings you can get and they’re still fast AF.
Damn bro how rough do you ride?
Even though we wait long for videos, they are always amazing! Keep it up!
video sponsored by oust. Oust, feel the speed!
Did you ever hear him in the first 2 minutes? Or are you just too deaf? ...
its nice to know that there's some people that care about us as consumers and want us tho get the best brand and quality thanks Rat Vision
What happened to your videos it’s been 4 years
Your videos are the best when it comes to defining skateboarding. There is no better, great work bro 🙌
thanks rat vision you all have been a big help for me
Please come back, I'm devistated it's been 4 years since you have posted. Your the best skateboard channel for information
you're
@@julesl6910 thanks asshole, why do you dick heads feel the need to do that shit?
@@julesl6910 👍
I ride seismic bearings but tried hundreds of bearings before. For me the tekton 6 balls are the best downhill/freeride Longboard bearings. Because there are fast, durable, came with an integrated spacer and they are super easy to clean. And also they have a very badass design.
this channel is great. i hope you continue post videos. i did a lot of similar research when i wanted build a skateboard for street and park skating. this guy know more than i, and their are more subjects to discuss in videos.
Your vids are amazingly interesting!! I ve never watched any more detailled skate-brand Videos ever!!!
Seriously sounds like an add and very much reading from a skit with a ton of hard cuts to get it just right. Basically feels like an infomercial and thus will be treated like one.
It was sponsored by Bones. Feel better now?
Nope as that has no bearing on how this was shot and presented. Now if your saying the video was sponsored by Bones I would be super confused. I however wouldn't be surprised at all if it was sponsored by OUST. Not saying it is but man the infomercial fake feel is strong with this video. This feel inherently makes it not feel trustworthy even if it is true. Watch some late night cable TV and you'll understand what I mean right away.
Oh really?
Because in every video you do nothing but shit on Bones. They have no reason to EVERY sponsor you.
@@JakeSnake07 i am pretty sure he was joking
Yeah he definitely sold out, acting like bones is in the same category as enjoi's or something is ridiculous, loses credibility.
Still waiting for a new vid D:
Thanks for your detailed videos, helps a lot :)
Very enlightening. Thanks for such an amazingly comprehensive review of bearings.
Hey I was just wondering,
I searched up Oust Bearings on youtube and google and everything shows them in longboards and you didn't mention regular skating either. so are these the best bearing for regular skateboarding too?
+me Absolutely! That's what the MOC 5's are for. Oust has a bigger name in Longboarding. Tensor actually sold their own bearings, but were actually Oust bearings. Tensor doesn't sell bearings any more, because they tried to get the Oust bearings made in China and failed.
I'm still sticking with bones reds because I've used them for years with no problems I may try oust someday
Then why'd you watch this video?
+The Beast that is the stupidest answer I've ever heard I watched it because I like rat vision the next bearings I said in my comment I may try them but I'm not sure I want to look into them first
+nivlac same dude I have skated bones reds for a good majority of my skate life lol
+Austin Whitney yeah one thing I don't like about oust is the non removable shields they have a small hole in the shields to lube them but it's a lot harder to clean them I have had my bones reds for a few years and I clean them every month and they work just like they did when I bought them
yeah I hear people having issues with bones and not once have I ever had any problems with them so its what I skate until I find something better haha
Thank you ...great points!!! I appreciate the work put into this video.
Heard this guy got his time machine fixed and returned to the 90's to change the world for the better with his knowledge of future events. We miss you, king.
Hey, what happened to you guys. When I started skating a year ago your videos helped me out alot, so what ever happened to you guys and why don't you make videos anymore
So........ did I miss the part where you explained what they did to redesign them etc or ???? Funny just finished watching a video about how abec doesn't matter and it basically just means the tolerances and youll never go fast enough/enough rpm on a skateboard to matter... yet this guy talks about the tight tolerances and apparently it matters... weird
I appreciate your video, it’s been very helpful on my next set of bearings I’ll be purchasing.
Thank you so much for this. Super educational.
eh. a little suspect that both your rat vision company and IDS are from torrance, CA.
Hard to believe that a video like this would be unbiased, but good job on the videos nonetheless. I've tried the moc 7 bearings and they werent any better than bones, and certainly werent cheaper.
You alive? We miss you bro
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH RAT VISION! THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE MUST KNOW!
Another great in depth video. Only one question now. What's the best skate lubricant?
Can you do a comparison between Oust and Bones Reds? Like the durability/ strength performance & etc..
Bones reds are garbage
Year is 2021 I’m just minding my own business then my head I wonder what happened to this channel
Thank you for this info I am getting an 8bit board for Christmas and don't know to much and this video helped me a lot thanks again.
this was an incredible video. subbed.
Can you make a video about which bearing spacers fit with which wheels? Because you said a lot of them make the wrong sizes, etc.
+Slayed UrNan Which decks would you say are the best/worst?
Don't worry about that, it doesnt make a big difference +Slayed UrNan
+Tom Keller Yeah, mmkay
Plz upload again
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped. Would you recommend moc 9 bearings for longboards and cruisers?
Very eye opening for my future choices in bearings! Always thought more expensive means better.. thank you for the great detail!!
My friend and I had a long discussion about bearings a month ago. He worked at a skate shop (or somewhere that had bearings) and claims that he discovered the top brand-name skate bearings have a major flaw when compared to generic non-skate bearings. Supposedly, on the top skate bearings, there is a gap between the outer race and the shield (which he discovered when holding the bearing up to light) which would allow sand and water to get in more easily than the generic non-skate bearings which didn't noticeably have that (although some skaters prefer to remove the shields to get that loud- gritty sound older bearings make). He also mentioned something else that was very interesting about the metal balls inside the bearing. I'm sending this video and your ABEC video to him to see what he has to say! Also, I thought Oust was a type of air freshening spray.
+Anklepants Skate Zine Great comment! Yes, it's true some cheaper bearings tend to have larger gaps between the shield and inner ring. The shield should not touch the inner ring, just so you know. The reason some have bigger gaps (besides just bad sizing) is that the bearing have looser tolerances (more play). So, because the bearing rings have more play to move, when loads are applied the shield could hit the inner ring. That would be ridiculously bad. To prevent that, the shields are smaller (or have a bigger gap). So, it's not a "flaw". It just has to be done that way for cheap, loose, ABEC 1 or 3 rated bearings. Tighter tolerances from higher ABEC rated bearings will have smaller gaps. Rubber seals are much better at protecting bearings and keeping lubricants in.
+Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech That's great to know. Who knew bearings could be so incredibly complicated?
This man isn't lying about these things. I brought a 100 dollar Nike outfit, sweats and hoodie. Shit faded after 2 washes. I brought a champion outfit where it was around 65 bucks. Still looks good after 4 months of washing.
bruuuh, i think you just have no clue how to do laundry lmfao
Well done. I've learned a lot.
Man you have the best videos. What happened to you? I'm not even into skateboards and i just love your clips!!!! You have an awesome talent my friend. Any more videos coming up?
60 dollars for bearings ?!?! 😖😖😖
+Luis Tapia lol, he never said they were cheap
Luis Tapia that's probably average price for me lmao
Luis Tapia exactly why people use reds😂
You can usually find them from between $40-50. Worth every penny... IF... you have an application that they are suited for.
Currently I'm doing quite a bit of experimentation with electric longboard wheel and bearing combinations. I'm finding that larger diameter wheels are ideal for both street compound solid wheels as well as all terrain tires that can go as large as 7-8 inches.
These place incredible lateral loads on the bearings. Tolerances are critical both at the hub matching spacers to the actual internal hub space and making sure the bearings have tight tolerances so they can survive the lateral loads.
I had a set of standard bearings (Actually 2 rear bearings started failing) on the AT wheels after about 40 miles.
I upgraded to OUST Moc 9's for both the street wheels and the AT tires. I have since then put about 150 miles on the AT tires and a little over 200 miles on the OUST equipped street wheels.
I'll see about doing a review of them soon. So far they are holding up fine.
Element bearings cost 10$, and they’re twice as fast as my reds. I just get the cheapest bearings, once you’re rolling your weight pushes the bearings forwards so it doesn’t matter what crapped out.
I used to ride these bearings back when they were called tensor bearings, I remember them being a big deal when they were first coming out. From what I remember they were amazing at first but didn't last very long, They must have made some major improvements since then. This was a LONG time ago though, The ads in Transworld at the time made it seem like they were innovative from what I remember.
Which bearings are best for cruising, with regards to cost, durability/longevity and ease-of-use (requiring little maintenance)?
One of the best explanations of skate bearings I have seen .
I'm absolutely done with Bones (no matter if Swiss made or not) cause they don't last me longer than maybe 2 month. Usually they are bad at arrival and really each bearing spins differently than the other - sometimes one or two are doomed from the beginning. I switched to Bronson Ceramics two years ago and I still love them. They are fast and they last.
vxb made in usa has some good shit
Same here I can't stand bearings with only 1 seal/shield on 1 side
I totally believe you about pros using oust wanna get some evidence or trying to pull a keemstar
Who needs evidence? Just repeat the phrase "world's top slalom skaters' 20 times or more and you technically trump any evidence.
I died reading this.
I'm a beginner when it comes to longboarding butt I'm a person who strives to know all the ins and outs of the things that I do. ive gone through a lot of other channels that provide useless information and or provide info without going in depth as to what they are talking about. I'm very glad I found yalls Channel and I plan on watching all of your videos.
please keep it up!!!
Wow! Thanks for the awesome comment
thank you very much. highly educational.
I just buy fidget spinners,
They come with bearings...
CøsmicKäZę pretty good ones tbh
I no joke used those and they work so smooth and they get dirty easily
CøsmicKäZę this comment is only valid for the year 2019
Nice
Same
i was wanting to see some speed testing of the different bearings out there. you only described oust but did not describe any other brands at all.
This video was our personal recommendation. We mentioned that in the beginning. We will being a speed test in an upcoming video.
Thank you for the videos!! You have my subscribe!
Thanks for the help just bought two new longboards completes and hated the bearing that where used needed to know what the best ones are this video was helpful:)
From "informative" to just an ad.
this is kind of a paradox. You are doing full branding in a anti-branding video.
We just have to trust you on your testing results or your pros survey.
No names nor fact sheets are shared.
Nonetheless it is a great informal video.
bro congratulations ... i work in SKF and you have a lot of knowledge about bearings!
What would you say is the best Longboard setup? im looking for speed. so what kind of wheels, bearings, trucks, etc. Thanks!
i wonder where this guy is right now
Zealous ftw, best bearings I have ever used.
This is how I feel about my Dark Wolf bearings, they are so under the radar, but excellent bearings, I have been skating mine since spring and all through this season. They are great.
please post more, youve helped me alot
notice how he keeps looking down. there is a script there. this is totally not sponsored.
Could of just prepped well to reduce ums and uhs...
Dude there is a script because nobody wants to see thousands of cuts. Your beloved TV programme all have scripts
Can you think for like a second pal?
I made a valid attempt and superseded my expectations!
Ya booiiiieeee
I mean it's a lot of information to remember so it would be better to have script
he repeated himself 😂😂😂😂😂 "why oust? they aren't that popular , and we said why oust? I asked myself because they aren't that popular " 😂😂
For the moc 5 streets will I still be able to clean them in the cleaning kit because they have that whole. Just wondering if I'll need to buy or make a cleaning kit
Very helpful video thank you
We miss your videos come back pls
+Katzedem We will have more videos this summer.
Rat Vision - Skateboard Tech lol it's been 2 years
How much did they pay you for this infomercial?
I guess everything is for sale......
+theblackslcmamba ZERO!
Why have you stopped making videos Rat Vision?
theblackslcmamba , big box of product if it wasn't cash, no doubt.
So I used white lithium grease on my bearings (before I actually looked up not to do so). How long will they be slower then normal or should I just go ahead and get new bearings
Great video. We need more content from this Channel :)
this is not marketing advertisement?
Nope
what do u think about tensor 10's alum lows? please anwser
The trucks are fine. However, you have to decide why you want low. What is low going to do for you? If you want to go low, did you ever consider what your wheel diameter is? Are you aware that by going low and keeping the same diameter wheel that you will now change your pop? These are things you have to think about. Don't worry pros don't even think about it either. When you change diameter and truck height, you change the leverage from the tip of the tail to the ground. This affects how high the nose gets when the tail hits the ground. You might want to go with high trucks if you have a small diameter wheel. You just have to find what you like. There is no right or wrong way, but these questions and tips are great to have in mind when it comes to your own setup.
okay thanks for the info. yes i have thought about the wheel diameter, i was thinking about getting 51's. but does that mean that i will pop higher since im less inches of the ground?
Read what they wrote again... Less inches from the ground means less pop as your tail will hit the ground earlier than if the board was higher
what about Bronson speed comapany new bearings?
Better than bones. I've ridden both
easier to clean and way way faster then bones
pretty fast. alrighty im not an experienced skater. Bronson was a right choice for me
+Chris Roberts like wow disappointed or WOW! lol probably the second one
Your vids are very helpful
Thanks for the info, Off to give them a try. Are they steel or ceramic bearings?
this video kinda seems like the kind of product bragging you said other brands do
Except Oust is proven to be superior, and we aren't getting paid by Oust. So, it's up to you if you trust us or not. Many people do.
@@RatVision proven where tho, I'd like to read about it
remember if somebody on UA-cam is making a claim that one thing is better than the other look in the description to see if they are sponsored by that company. and sometimes they are sponsored by a company and it's not put in the description which is illegal.
IM VERY GREATFUL FOR YOUR GUYS CHANNEL! DON'T STOP MAKING VIDEOS!!!
Almost 100k subscribers! I can sense the silver play button.
The only thing I got from this paid advertisement is that I will probably never purchase oust 😂
Mhm...I think I'm gonna try Oust bearings somewhen.
I've already ridden Seismic Tektons, which only have the benefit of the integrated spacer for me
bones reds, which were very diappointing for their hype
jucker hawaiis, standard, not bad, but not that awesome.
JuJu bearings which work very good for me
and some unbranded bearings that were called "Mach-1" which are neat for their low price
and industrial bearing...kinda don't like the long break-in time..
+TastenKombination Break-in should only be about 15-25 hours of skating. Some people think it has to do with lubricant. It actually has to do with the contacting metal surfaces. Although the raceways and balls are polished to a mirror like surface, they are actually very rough and jagged. During the "break-in" period the balls are getting familiar with the raceways, and smoothing the surfaces of the balls and races even further. Just wanted to let you know what break-in actually means in case you didn't already.
Yes Yes I knew that, thanks anyway. :)
I often hear some skaters say that bearings with thick lubricants take way longer to break in, I never really tested that even though I used industrial bearings. Like you said they probably took such a long time to break in because of the manufacturing.
Love you videos btw! I was able to prove some points because of your knowledge!
Oh and to add to my last comment, the industrial bearings took way longer than the 25hours to break in, after that they worked fine, but it is annoying. I'd rather spend 15$ more for some better bearings. I'm excited for the Oust bearings
+TastenKombination lubricants will not effect break-in time. The important thing about lubricant during the break-in period is that they keep the bearing lubricated so the bearings can reach the end of the breakin period. That sounds pretty obvious, but the lubricant is just there to do it's job, and if it wasn't there the bearings may not even last long enough to break-in.
+TastenKombination You can't really feel or notice when bearings break-in. It's like watching a clock hour hand move. It's moving, but you can't tell it's moving. It's also not an exact time like an on and off switch. It's slow and gradual and the end of the period is about 15-25 hours of riding.
But will they work as well under the stress of Going down gaps? Will they maintain their speed and quality after jump after jump? In slalom it's different than street skating doing tricks and stunts I'm just curious about the longevity in a street skating specific environment.
Among these Oust bearings, which ones would you recommend for penny boards? Thanks!
