My scooter is slow as hell and Im looking for bearings that are fast, but I dont have a lot of money to spend. Any suggestions?
 
Use alcohol/petrol/windex/whatever organic-based cleaning fluid, soak bearings in it during night and there you go. Or, concerning your a dumb fuck, you should put spacers between the bearings before you tighten the axles.

Yeah first try soaking them in windex over night, if you want to speed the process up put them in a water bottle with windex and put them in the microwave. Then oil them up afterwards. But if your looking for new bearings, ive been riding Ninjas on my Yak 110mm's and their fast as shit.
 
Ive got a set of fracture abec 9's theyve lasted me since april and there skatoard bearings so if you mangle one set (4 bearings) then u can use the rest

Theyre going to go fast at first, but then shit is going to start sticking to the WD40, keep the same bearings in for like a week, then look at them. Youll see clumps of oily dirt all on your bearings and getting all over your axle.

for me... 1 dollar a bottle... use it like 50 times a bottle or something... makes my old shitty bearings really fast... i put wd-40 in them like once every 2 weeks... so 1 dollar every 100 weeks.... sounds good to me...

Yeah, but its a DEGREASER, your supposed to use that, wash them off, then put real oil on them. Soak them in WD40 over night, wash them off, then soak them in straight up oil and you wont need to use WD40.
