Possibly as important if not more important than any other component.

Hey thanks J! These bearings would benefit all levels. Too slick for aggressive though.

@@BillStoppard would you recommend K2s for skating outdoors? That's what I'm using currently with 80mm Labeda shooter wheels. As I like to skate both indoors and outdoors

I own Cats Leopards too and they just spin that well. I found the one time I did need to oil them again they didn't spin freely like other bearings they became a little crunchy. A couple of blobs of Cats oil on them and they were back to free spinning like a champ. I've even over oiled them just so I didn't have to worry about doing it again for a while and they beat everyone's bearings at the rink I go to. The only bearing I have seen out spin them so far are BSB's Swiss but they cost twice the price of Cats.

Not in the UK, the price for BSB is £90-£100 and Cats are £50. I've free spinned them against a few swiss bearings and Cats beat them. The guy who uses the BSB has had them for 10+ years and uses his own formula of grease on them so that maybe making the difference, he runs the skate shop in town. He does a little quick flick of his foot and they look like they're about to take off.

gofixmix 16 Bronson Swiss bearings

SkatingWithPey I’ve had Bronson G3’s for over a year & skate long distances through the harbour and beaches & they are still super fast and smoothe. The shields are really good and have had only 1 wheel get sand in the bearing. Other than my dragging wheel, I was able to just put a drop of Bronson nannite lube on them & only have lubed 1x in a whole year. These are the best bearings I ever had! 😎👍😃💕😁🙈

@@pey666 where did you get the cats in the UK? Cant find them anywhere

Derek Simmons very interesting point. I am curious of your opinion of the flying eagle f110s.

If you have narrow feet then i would say flying Eagle F110H but if you have wide feet then go for Seba. the flying Eagle liner is way better.

Mephistopheles I get that. I actually own the them I was just curious what you guys thought about them.

Derek Simmons I just like the way the kaze boot looks.. Reminds me of the metroblades by rollerblade. I love that boot.

im currently using k2 fit pro with 90mm x4 wheels, by the way thank you so much for the help, i dont have too much experience with skates but i feel im ready for an upgrade, this skates are too soft on the cuff and the power transfer i feel is lacking a ton, and yes i have wide feet, not super wide but wide, the only thing making me doubt the sebas are the ventilation.

Computer Simulated Atomic Coded Reality I own the Megacruiser 125 (not pro) pink and find them very comfortable...I like the imperial boot for urban skating and the fact that they come with my fit liners which are fantastic, and heat moldable (just the liner, not the boot) by the way in case you have some sore spots or want to speed-up the break-in process. The boot is well vented and has shock-absorbing pads which is nice...transitioning to the 125mm wheel wasn’t as bad as I expected and I actually felt more stable on long sessions because of the inherent length...still you might need an adjustment period for the height. If you’re looking for a lot of maneuverability, you’d be better off with 110 or 100mm wheels, but these are maneuverable enough for longer commutes. Hope that helps

Thank you so much PIPE i do see the megacruisers as a very strong contender also, the thing with the megacruisers is that i dont know if they are in the same league as the sebas 325 or the roces 110 quality wise, and im trying to get a set up of say height where i dont want to upgrade in at least a year like it happened with the k2, i want to buy a 125 or 110 setup that i can keep forever and be happy about it, thats why im asking , so i have 1 vote for the magas, so far, thank you PIPE!!! HAPPY SKATIN!

Hi there just wish to share my own experience, as i hv all the skates you mentioned. I love all the brands and all the skates, but among the three, i would put megacruiser > seba fr1 > roces. like Derek said, roces is not really for urban. while i really love seba, the fr1 liner to me is not as comfortable as the frd balaned liner, especially for urban conditions. the megacruiser pro has great liner, frame is solid, overall a very good pair of skates. having said that, if you go up from 90mm to 125mm, it can be tricky, as it could be hard to get used to. to ease the problem, i would really recommend powerslide's trinity mounting, it's much closer to ground so the difference doesn't feel that significant. if you mainly casual skate, try the Swell series, it's really comfortable, affordable and great for leisure skating. But if you like jumping, doing tricks, etc, the Kaze is better. And of course there are Hardcore Evo series and TAU series, which are excellent but comparatively expensive. so all in all, i would say my preference would be any trinity mounting skates, then megacruiser > seba fr1 > roces. hope it helps

Thank you Michael, that was a fantastic insight and really really helpful, i do plan on jumping with the skates so i will take a look at your reccomendation but given the opinions i might start saying bye bye to the roces, since those where my most likely choice but your are the second person recommending the megacruisers so they moved to my number one spot, thank you for the fantastic advice, HAPPY SKATING!!!!

They're quite stiff. For competitive hockey, I'm not sure. My impressions: Same maneuverability, better momentum transfer but a slightly heavier skate than traditional hockey skates.

Oh yeah I use Black Panther Ceramics and they are super quiet, super fast and very long spinning.

yes, they are 608 bearings, they should fit all inline wheels.

thanks !

Sky Firestone Generally all bearings should fit unless they are specified otherwise.

Ricky the spacers in all Bauer and mission skates make free spinning awkward, if you don't get them in the right orientation or in perfectly flush they mess it up massively, I've been sat for hours trying to find the perfect orientation of spacers and bearings but to no avail

yeah, I’ve got Mission A50s and the freespin on the wheels is pretty yikes! Given the bearings are non serviceable and kinda crappy

Probly misssion ds7 or nls6 and those have abec 5 which are garbage

loadless free spin doesn't matter. u need to test the bearings under load and with appropriate oil in them for the usecase, if they use any at all. why appropriate? because u can throw in some super thin oil, that will result in longer freespin, but will have much worse protection and other worse potential properties. remember, that spinning a wheel without load vs pushing at an angle with a force of 1.5x your body weight on one skate is a huge difference. the video itself says, that he doesn't care much about free spin. free spin after a long time of actual use can show, that the bearings have good dirt protection for example, which means, that u have to clean them much less over time, but free spin alone is NOT a good sign of performance, if a sign at all.

@@cataria3903 thank god someone with sense

Ya, I bought these 2 weeks ago, first ride was fine. After the first they started to rattle and definitely started to spin way worse.

If there new you probably need to break them in. A couple of runs will fix that. Make sure you lube them after you clean them. Not all bearings are created equal though.

Still using that exact set! Sometimes free spin is an indication of fast wheels; happily the build quality was incredible too.

*Cringes in Michigan. I literally only know 1 single place to skate. A paved path in a county park. We have pot holes you could lay down in. Michigan winters and ice are brutal on pavement. I've been searching for new skate spots for weeks and coming up empty handed. Wish I lived near a sweet city.

Uummmm....you sound scary.

I just repeat what people told me about Toronto. I.e. in universities when a girl complains you were staring at here, you may quickly have to leave the school there for 'stare-rape'. And you must be guilty, because else the girl would not say so. Obviously nothing you can back-up - good.

Additionally - you drive scary. (just kidding you know what you are doing obviously)

You do realise they are US $754.79 just for the bearings. They should be good.

The Leopards are about $80.
