Alright well I soaked my bearings (houseing and everything, didnt try to dissassemble them) in windex overnight and then relubed them with bones speed cream. I noticed a small difference but not to much. I think I might get new wheels and bearings. Im gonna see if they have craps bearings but what wheels would you reccomend? Im currently riding stock and I want a wheel that can fit on stock forks and is uber fast and can absorb a lot of shock. Good carving would be nice too. I already checked out the wheel thread btw. In all honesty my stock wheels are in pretty good shape, and I am just looking for more speed. So recomendations?

yak 100's or 110's are the best way to go right now, although i don't think you'll get some until the winter. Just buy new bearings reds bones are affordable at 15 bucks and pretty damn good. If you cant wait for wheels you can buy low pros 110's in the store, a bit harder but they get the job done.

Yaks for sure. I've never tried them but everyone who has says its good so it has to be good. Stock Razor bearings are the worst i've ever seen. They call it high speed but its slow as hell. Get skate bearings. 15 or below is good. I'm talking in US dollars. Don't put grease on it. Oil is best.
Good luck..

110 yaks for speed and durability
I think I might go for the Drive 110 wheels. It says they are the fastest and I need speed, but are they good for landing huge airs and handleing major side loads from carving? I looked at the Yaks but it says that they feel unstable when you carve or land huge airs. Also, should I even be bothering with new wheels or should I get new bearings and just put them in stock razor wheels? What is the best combination (wheels + bearings) for speed and durability?

well they say to use drives as a front wheel. I heard that they come off the core too.

Razor pro wheels are real good... If you can't get YAKS or drives or whatever you want go for them. And you should get new bearings too

try to get yaks
Well it looks like 110 yaks are the way to go...but I do A LOT of deep carving and anticipate doing some huge airs and I saw in the wheel review thread that they feel unstable when carving or landing huge air. I might go for 125 mm Yaks instead but how much modding do they require to fit on my scooter? (mine is one of those "new A" models with a rubber block between the fork and the t-tube assembaly.)

-you need a 125mm fork
-you also need to mod the back behind the brake by cutting/filing and drill new holes for the brake farther back
you should just get a 125mm scooter if you really want 125 wheels because the only way you wont snap you deck drilling new holes is to reinforce yer deck
all in all i would just stick with getting 110mm they better than 100s and cheaper and less time consuming than getting 125s on there
