[daytona]

i only have 25 bucks and i dont wanna waste it on gettin new bearings

[MysterySkate16]

[DVS Skater]

Just buy Bones Reds. I had them for awhile they were pretty good. They are like $15. I got Bones Swiss recently.

[daytona]

i have reds right now, and ive had them for only 2-2 1/2 months and theyre startin to mess up alot now
and i dont wanna waste the money to go buy a new pair, cuz ill prolly need the money towards a new board or something

[Flipped]

speed cream ftw. it works amazingly.

[i ride em all]

i bet its your trucks because did you ever put WWD40 on them?

its not. if you don't lube your bearings after you clean them, they will die in like three days.

[daytona]

ive never used wd40 on my trucks, ever
even when i started skating i knew it would screw them up
flipped is right, its cuz i didnt lube them

also, whats the best way to clean them?
ive used the search button and ive found different ways but theres always somebody who contradicts that way to clean it

i was thinkin about takin the shields off, washing the bearings around in gasoline for a couple minutes, using a blowdrier to dry them off, and then applying spead cream and then puttin the shields back on

is that any good?
make any corrections to it if you want

I haven't tried gasoline, but it's a solvent - so it should work, just wash the bearings with isopropyl alcohol (higher the %, the better) for a minute or two in case the gasoline residue stays in the bearing. Also, leave the bearings in the gasoline overnight instead of for a few minutes.

To clean bearings, basically...
Take off the caps, soak them in rubbing alcohol, or google "solvent" and whatever comes up as solvent is in your house, use that. Soak them for 5 minutes, while stirring gently. Dry them off good with a rag, then put on the axle of your truck, take a blow dryer, try them off gooooood. If you have a compressed air container, then use that on the bearings to get dry and get out all dirt, then put in lube.

compressed air container?
ummmm, im tryin to think what that would be

and to maverix
ill just leave the bearings in the gas for a few hours, just cuz i dont wanna take the chance of leavin them out over night and not knowing what will happen
and that isopropyl alcohol, is it just rubbing alcohol

Don't ever put WWD40 on bearing they'll rust...

Just follow these directions and put some speed cream in when you're done. It works on old ass bearings that don't even turn anymore too.
A bottle of Speed cream should last you a long time. It's definitely worth it.

[silentzodiac]

Lol metal in the microwave what a dumbshit. Just use a blow dryer not a microwave.

[Spearson32]

buy the lube for sure
i was in the same predicament
just open the bearings by taking off the shield
soak them in rubbing alcohol(90%)
and then put some drops of lubricant in them
like new

I lubed my reds in cooking oil... I'm not sure if it was corn, vegetable, or canola. I'm pretty sure it was Mazola brand though. It actually worked pretty good.

[Cosmo]

I got some bearing lube, not speed cream. It works really well,plus it was super cheap

[blackgoat]

I have bones speed cream... And it works VERY well

[503Skater]

wd40 is the best.

would you think the FKD bearing lube would work
the local shop sells it, im pretty sure its FKD, but i know its bearing lube

[Infamous Ob]

Can that shit be used with any bearing?

[i dont skate]

Get paintball lube. You either get oil or grease. http://www.dbnpaintball.com/lube.htm

The two oils on the top work awsome, and last me for about a month or so. Or get the second grease, hater sauce V2, it is the slickest grease out of all of the grease lubricants out there. i just used it in my bearings, and i will LYK how it works. It will for sure last long though.

[Darkstar-Volcom-Lakai]

it ruins your bearings, i think its only for cleaning or something, its better just to buy new bearings
