FAQs

Does a higher ABEC rating actually make skateboard bearings faster?
ABEC ratings measure manufacturing precision for machine applications spinning at very high, constant RPMs, which does not reflect how skateboard bearings perform under the irregular, lower-speed impacts of street and park skating. Brands like Bones in this collection, such as the Reds and Super Reds lines, intentionally skip ABEC ratings and instead focus on skate-specific factors like race design and shield material. A bearing's speed and durability on a skateboard depend far more on these skate-specific engineering choices than on any ABEC number.
What is the difference between Bones Reds, Super Reds, and Swiss bearings?
Bones Reds in this collection are the brand's entry-level bearing, using a precision race and standard shields to deliver reliable everyday performance at an accessible price. Super Reds add a nylon retainer at the ball level that keeps balls at even spacing, which reduces friction and improves durability over standard Reds. Bones Swiss and Swiss Ceramic sit above both, using Swiss-made precision components and, for Ceramic, ceramic balls instead of steel for less friction and less need for cleaning.
How do I know when it's time to clean or replace my skateboard bearings?
Bearings in this collection should be cleaned when they start making a grinding or gritty sound, roll noticeably slower than when new, or feel rough when spun by hand off the wheel. Regular cleaning with a bearing solvent and periodic re-lubrication can extend a bearing's life significantly, especially for skaters who ride outdoors where dirt and moisture are more likely to get inside. Bearings should be replaced entirely once the races show visible pitting or the balls no longer spin smoothly even after cleaning.
 What are bearing spacers and washers for, and do I need them?
Spacers, like the Bones .410 spacer sold in this collection, sit between the two bearings inside a single wheel and keep them aligned so the axle nut can be tightened fully without crushing the bearings themselves. Speed washers, sold with sets like the Bronson G2 and G3 bearings, sit on the outside of the bearing against the wheel and axle nut, reducing friction at those contact points and improving how freely the wheel spins. Skipping spacers is one of the most common causes of bearings failing early, since over-tightening without them puts direct pressure on the bearing shields.
What is the difference between steel and ceramic skateboard bearings?
Standard steel bearings, such as Bones Reds and Super Reds in this collection, use steel balls and are reliable, affordable, and easy to find replacements for. Ceramic bearings, like the Bones Swiss Ceramic and Ceramic Super Reds, use ceramic balls that are harder, smoother, and less prone to collecting debris, which means they generally roll faster and need less frequent cleaning. Ceramic bearings cost significantly more than steel, so they tend to appeal most to riders who skate often enough that the reduced maintenance and speed gain are worth the price difference.
