Zealous Bearings for Longboards and Skateboards

Product Information

Inner Ring/race: The Inner ring is the metal tube on the inside of the bearing that touches your axel. This is the ring you will have to put pressure on to remove the bearings, which will damage them in some capacity. G2’s lasted 2 to 4 months longer compared to Bones Reds, depending on the weather conditions. They seem to handle dust, dirt, and water better. Bones Big Balls skateboard bearings have six 17 percent larger diameter balls, high-speed ball retainers, a detachable dust shield for easy cleaning, and are pre-lubed with Bones Speed Cream to make them go faster and last longer. The construction has several benefits that will appeal to street, park, pool, ramp, and downhill skaters who wish to skate faster. Steel bearings are excellent for skaters on a budget. However, going for this bearing entails some risks when skating in rainy weather. Also, they are more prone to overheating.

Bearings for industrial use are designed and manufactured with small tolerances and are highly precise. They will experience high temperatures, thousands of rotations per minute and high stresses. Loads of factors go into these bearings and they are designed so they can perform their best in high precision settings. The difference isn’t huge and our results are anecdotal but overall Bronson G2 seems to outperform standard Bones Reds. We tested about 5 sets and all lasted longer than Reds. Our worst performing set of Reds were unskateable after 2 months. Are there bearings besides ceramic and steel? Yes! The third type we might want to know about is titanium bearings. There are many misconceptions about skateboard bearings. Some of these myths just won’t go away. Perhaps it is how manufacturers market them. ABEC is usually mentioned when buying a complete skateboard or cruiser, causing confusion.Zealous may feel a little slow to start, but they improve as you skate them, and they’re on the setups of some of the fastest longboarders in the world. They’re also more water resistant than most other bearings, meaning you won’t have to fear a wet patch or a little splashing as much as you might with other bearings. Though, if they’re completely submerged, I still do recommend drying them off when you get home, and cleaning them, if you can. Even ceramic bearings have parts that can corrode and seize up. Yes, skateboarding is an outdoor sport we do when it’s mostly sunny. While some skaters still prefer to skate in wet weather, doing so has consequences, especially when using steel bearings. If you look hard enough, you would also find some cheap Chinese bearings available too. So you basically have a lot of options and you need to decide which one is right for you. The coefficient of friction is the lowest in the field of Tribology at 0.003% creating a near frictionless surface. Mainly because the nanoceramic compound eliminates all asperities. Extremely low water washout. Spacers are major elements of the bearings that decide their effectiveness. They are very important because they provide the support required by bearings. They also aid to provide impeccable consistency as well as keep the bearing in place.

Put the bearings in it and shake for about 2 minutes, then take them out and spin them. Take a rag or paper towel and dry them off as good as you can (rag preferred as wood fibers from paper towels can make it worse and rags don't so yeah) let them sit out and "air dry" on the rag for 20min and blow dry them off for like 5 minutes.

Doing either of the above means your wheels won’t slide smooth and will chatter unnecessarily. This will affect your power slides, blunt slides, heel side slides etc. Basically limiting the performance of your wheels and overall setup.

That said, why is it some bearings roll much longer than others? Bearings don’t perform the same under freeroll The bearings are pre-lubricated with Arch-oil Nanoceramic Grease, which seems to be a high-quality lubricant that makes the bearings less resistant. The weather and temperature will have no impact on the bearings and they will remain consistent in any circumstances. However, if you’re a little shot in cash, but you still want a convenient riding experience. We recommend you go for Heady Shake Pro Longboard Bearings. It’s the best cheap longboard bearings that provide everything a high-end product can do but at a lower price tag.The coefficient of friction is the lowest in the field of Tribology at 0.003% creating a near frictionless surface. Mainly because the nanoceramic compound eliminates all asperities. These cruiser board bearings incorporated a hard polymer shield to keep the bearings well-guarded. It also serves to make the maintenance process simpler, so that you can easily clean and reapply the lubricating oil after extensive use. In summary, you should strive to have a setup that has all the necessary parts. Some people may argue that they aren’t necessary for skating, but they are simply necessary if you want to have gear that performs great. Bearing lube matters Loaded Jehu bearings are kinda ok. They work great until their first maintenance, where after they really lose their performance. That said, I’m currently testing another set, so hopefully, this isn’t a continuing issue. Read an in-depth review of them here. Before we decide which is better, ceramic bearings VS steel, let us first see what aspects make up these skateboard wheel parts. 1. Parts
