Hmmm they are a good brand so im preety sure it will be ok

 

[Jon.]

It's realistic. I'd use them for dirt.

 

[ConnorD]

it IS rush, so I'd imagine its legit. Sounds dope

I think there for rain

*they're
who rides in the rain anyway?
If they're for the rain then they are most likely very sealed so the same principle would apply for dirt.

I could actually use these for all the rain longboarding I do aha.

^ then say hello to a waterlogged board hahah

 

[matr!]

I just waterproof my bearings with surf wax. Cause it's like nearly 100% waterproof, I just oil them, put the shields on and rub surf wax all over the outside of the bearings. It collects alot of dirt and shit but it works

 

[Chase Marsh.]

Would these work during a hurricane?

 

[JoshNunez]

Was that a rhetorical question?

 

[Joe Collins]

Screw it and just get long board ceramics

 

[Chase Marsh.]

Was that a rhetorical question?

No. I really want to know.

 

[scootertoot64]

try it see if u will live

 

[Zaηe]

Dont use ceramics in wheels, waste of money.

 

[Joe Collins]

What els would you use them for? The don't seize or collect dirt and are way smoother

 

[matr!]

Well they pretty much perform the same as normal bearings. They have advantages though, like they don't need oiling and they don't rust

 

[Joe Collins]

And faster

 

[matr!]

Pretty much all of the bearings are the same speed on scooters. there are different speeds up until the stage of no rolling resistance. All new bearings have no rolling resistance, and are basically the same speed.

The weight of your scooter, size of your wheels and tightness of the bearing slots is what makes peoples scooters faster than others

 

[ConnorD]

But I'm pretty sure ceramics break easier
