rubbing alcohol + bearings = not good.

[Tyler Ha1e]

ya, once mine start slowing down im just gonna get new ones, fuck trying to fix them. that takes effort

 

[Dylan Kasson]

i use a drop of ninja bearing oil per bearing like per month

 

[slottje]

i use wd40.... but some skater fag put my bearing in the fukin toilet at the park the other day and there making funny sounds..

 

[cLeMo321]

lol i was ther..it was a pisser!!!!!!

tyler, give me like 2 dollars and ill make them work again...ive never bought bearings, i just find old ones with rust and dirt crusted into them, clean them out and grease them up and they work just as good as new ones

edit: i guess to contribute to the thread, i use rubbing alcohol or brians old windex method to clean them off, then i have this silicone spray, that even when the bearings look spotless, ill spray them and they will gush this black gross dirt shit, so i wipe that off, then spray more silicone on it and they work good

[Andy Rhode]

no its a lube not the boobjob stuff

Skateboarders say WD40 is not good for bearings.Go to a bike shop and get those degreasers( Finishline or whatever). My Uncle living in America brought me 20 bottles of Rock and Roll lubricant. It's name might sound funny but it is very good.It is meant for bike chains.It cleans the bike chain and at the same time lubes it.
Not all countrys have RnR lube. From what I remember, only in New Zealand , America , probably Europe and some other country.

i dont use anything at all, just wipe out the grease that comes with it stock, and leave it be.
it spins for ages after about a days riding.

ive been riding the same set of bearings since June and they still are just as fast.

[Brian Boston]

Maybe if you auctually read you would know to put oil in the bearings after you CLEAN THE DIRT AND OIL OFF WITH ALCOHOL. I though it was common sense?

 

[farmboy uk]

it is theres just some very dumb people in this world brian, you and me are the lucky ones

 

[Little Liam]

stop paying people out guys, in the thread id did NOT say to put it in oil after GOSH!
