bump.
okay so I just got some shake junt bearings and i put everything together, but the spacers are pretty loose in the wheel and it makes a big rattling noise. My scooter is super undial because of it, and don't try to tell me its something else because i've narrowed it down to the spacers. I used a vice to put the bearings in and they are as far in as possible. any way to get the spacer to stop rattling, preferably without taking out the bearings?

Tighten the wheel more. Find a different spacer, the one you're using might be lipped a little bit.

So after cleaning the bearings, what is the best thing to use to lube the bearings?

Use any kind of grease or mechanical lubricant you can find.
Actually 70th. Which makes your post even more useless.
just to add something,those people who brag they have abec 1,000 bearings.piss off.
The ABEC rating dosent have nothing to do with speed,a abec 1 bearing will always spin faster than a abec 11 bearing becuase abec is how small the tolerances are,a abec 11 bearing would have a very tight tolerance where as a abec 1 bearing would have slack tolerances which would spin faster becuase theres more room for the balls to move
Also a abec 11 bearing can go to a abec 1 bearings within hours depending on the conditions!
For anyone id recomend super reds or reds! there cheap,have decent tolerances and you get a free sticker

theres no such thing as abec 11. it goes up to abec 9, anything higher and its a lie.
reds suck.

And your post is complete bullshit anyways aside from your basic understanding of ABEC.
ABEC 1: 0.0075mm (0.000295")
ABEC 3: 0.0050mm (0.000197")
ABEC 5: 0.0035mm (0.000138")
ABEC 7: 0.0025mm (0.000098")
ABEC 9: 0.0012mm (0.000047")
Those are the different ABEC tolerances. For our uses, ABEC is completely irrelevant. .0063mm is not going to make one bearing "loose" while a higher tolerance is "tighter", and I don't know any scooter that reaches >30,000rpms, which is the only place that ABEC makes a difference speed-wise. ABEC means nothing, which is why you don't see respectable bearing companies advertising their ratings.
