Best way to wear in bearings?

[RiccardoM]

Title, I'm getting some blunt abec 9s and blunt 110s in three days and I wan't my scooter to be as fast as possible with out using oil or lube. I've heard that sticking the bearings in the wheels and tightening them on an axel as tight as you can and just spinning them for ages works but any suggestions?

Just throw them on and ride haha. Youll feel them break in after riding for like 10 minutes.
I honestly dont think Ive ever heard of breaking in your bearings before you ride.

Thanks, I might do that (axle spinning ) though cos the weathers gone super shit again so it'll take up time I won't be able to spend.

Any other suggestions?

Rid your scooter on a treadmill

No treadmill?

You really shouldn't have bought envy bearings or wheels, lol. My friend got the same bearings and they broke in a week, and another friend got Envy wheels and they chunked in like a month.

get you bike put it upside down and pedal as fast as you can. when the tire is going really fast touch you scooter wheel to it and it will spin really fast. Rinse and repeat

I've ridden both before and I really like them, I mainly ride flat and banks so those bearings won't be broken.

Who told you that you had to "wear in" bearings?

 

[Chris Vincent]

You can't wear in bearings haha..

Yes you can^^ talk to any skateboarder/skateshop/longboarder

Trying to "wear in bearings" is just stupid. Ride your scooter. Spinning your wheels on an axle isn't just going to magically make you go 2x faster. This thread is honestly pointless.

Because those people are all experts on the wearing properties of bearings, right? The only people who think you have to "wear in" bearings are the same people who think the best bearings are the ones that spin the longest.
