Cheers Marcel! Thats what ill do ayy! What would u reccommend to wash them with? Im guessing petrol?

And where would i get teflon oil from?

P.S: This is what is writen about my bearings: High quality steel housing and ceramic balls used and computer controlled manufacting ensures these are bearings of the best quality. - So, would i still use oil?

And also, would the teflon oil make them go worse them they were going before i out WD-40 on them?

CHEERS!!!

Overhere we have a petrol kind of thinner that is called (freely translated: Washing benzin). Its a kind of greasy petrol.
If you do not know that just use normal petrol it will work fine also. Or as said more enviormental friendly: Citrus solvent (same as where I always cleaned my snowboards with to remove wax from the bottom).

Teflon (PtFe) oil is normal available oil. We have this here also in spraycans and that also cleans and lubricate.
We do not use petrol anymore, only this Teflon Spray cans to clean and lubricate the bearings (really magic stuff!!).
Wd 40 isnt the best material to lubricate mate.... its cheap but not good enough.

Hope I helped you out

I would highly recommend using carburater cleaner. it works great. and then use 2 drops of bones speed cream in each bearing. it will be amazing how smooth your bearings are

Cheers mate, great info ayy!

Could i buy a few of those cans from you? They sound great, just spray on and get clean and lubed... Where could i get them? Maybe your website or something?

Thanks

Also, i was wondering, Marcel, if you had ceramic bearings, would you clean them with these cans you have, even if you didnt get any WD-40 on it, but just to clean them? What i mean is that im not asking whether you can, but would you? Does this spray slow them down any, or will they run like brand new afterwards?

This is a bit simpler, After YOU ride your ceramics for a while, would you not clean them at all and just keep on riding them and never clean them, or would YOU clean them with those cans after a bit of riding?

Hey,

Sorry we only sell through Distributors.
But what you can look for is MOTIP PTFE Spray, not sure tough where they are sold.
A normal GOOD equipped bikestore should have this also. (WATCH OUT !! NEVER use Silicon spray!!!!).

I clean my Ceramic bearings by pushing out the ball cage, then remove the balls and then I can clean each part very easy. Again we use Delrin Plastic cages that are easy to remove.
