Help with bearings/spacers!

[NickOlson]

Is it possible that my rusty old bearing spacer is making my wheel squeaky? Also, does anyone know about these bearings? They're super cheap:

Check to make sure your axle, fork and dropouts are perfectly straight. If they aren't, that's most likely why it's squeaking. That doesn't really have much to do with your bearings.

I don't get how people break bearings. I've rode the same ones for a year now. It's all about correctly putting them in with SPACERS.

A few things;

C4 is dead last I checked, don't try to buy from them.

Bones Reds are not for scooters. They'll be wobbly from the get go, and turn to shit pretty quickly. Razor ABEC 5's are the best bearing in my opinion.

If you can get ahold of the thicker style plain spacers, WITHOUT A RING ON THE OUTER, they'll perform the best. I'm not sure if the Yak ones are the same dimensions. If you cant, the thin plain ones are your next best option. They come with most skate bearings, and just about any stock wheel.
