These
are probably some of the best bearings available
on the market today. They were developed by the
people at Bones to be an affordable alternative
to their well-known Bones Cermaics and Bones Swiss
bearings. In creating a cheaper alternative, very
little quality was lost between models. Each package
comes with set of 8 bearings, pre-lubed with Speed
Cream, 4 spacers, instructions and a sticker. All
of this for a suggested retail price of $16.00 US.
I don't think you can find many other companies
which has such great quality for such a low price.
The
first set of bones I ever got were suggested to
me over a year ago by the guy working behind the
counter at some skateshop in Michigan. I have
had those bearings for over a year now and they
still roll perfectly. After 8 months with them
one of the bearings was locking up so I just added
some oil to them and they were spinning like new
again. Since then, I have bought another set of
bones for my filming board and they have not had
to be re-oiled after a good 4 months of use. Occasionaly
I take them off the board and wipe off all of
the dirt on the red shield. Overall, if you want
some quality bearings designed for skateboarding
and aren't willing to hand over $120.00 US for
Bones Swiss Ceramics, the Reds are definatly for
you.
