Man I was doing things so wrong for so long. I've been packing my bearing with grease and didn't even think about what the actual job of the bearing is. I could never a get an 1/8 of a turn free spinning it. Freaking enlightened! Thank you sir!!!!

The grease also prevents heat build up as you are rolling down a mountain road at 50 mph

Yo I'm about to do thiss to my bmx wheel bearings and my road bike wheel bearings I bought the same stuff you used in thiss video! Thanks man and I hope it makes my bikes faster in sprints too!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

If I drain all the oil out of the engine in my car will it be faster? There’s lots of bearings inside a engine.

very informative iam gonna try it

I use the hair clippers oil to lubricate the bearings.

Thanks for this

After you have cleaned the bearing and also use the high speed while you can use a drill to run it for a while so that it maintains its speed for long

Thanks man

Thanks😊

Thank you,I needed this for skateboard,now I know how to make my skateboard faster,keep up hreat work

Have you tried to remove all the grease and put the seals back on? I don't want to do all that work for the same result

this would only make sense for someone who is racing and or willing to replace bearings extremely often this is NOT for most people this ill make your bike much more high maintenance bc if you do this you really have to pay attention to your bearings so they dont dry out. theres a reason we use grease not oil it keeps the bearings good way longer oil will naturally wear out faster because its thinner and will literally come out of the bearings faster.. get hot faster and wear out too.. IF your bearings go DRY while going down a hill and they WILL blow up and your wheel WILL stop turning..

I just got done putting the wheel back on after doing that and ima try it once my air compresser gets filled up with a air cause I deflated my tyre so it can get on easier

Have you ever tried silicone spray instead of the high speed lube?

Fuck yeah, finally might 15mph on my board now

great tip thanks

Anyone test this with empirical data? The fact that the bearing is able spin more freely shows that relative to it's own outer shell's very tiny inertia there is now less friction and therefore it looks like a win. But place an entire wheel on the bearing, or place a 150lb rider and the weight of a rider into the formula, and this very minor change in friction is likely unnoticeable. Please leave a link here, if anyone has an actual test of the gains made with a full bike.

Can i use chain lube istead if high speed lube on the bearings would it work the same mate cheers

Easy hack just take one side out then have the exposed side facing in the wheel.

Just get skateboard lube from bones, at any skate shop. with a load makes no difference, put the seal back on what ever you do. You need to constantly change and clean the oil.

Disclaimer: only do this if you have a track cycle or something that wont be exposed to the elements. If a little bit of dirt/sand gets in there it is going to grind the heck out of it and destroy your bearing. Also even if it no dirt/sand gets in there your lube has its purpose, to stop the bearing from wearing out quickly, this will also shorten your bearings lifespan by a huge margin.

Cool trick. You could probably blow some more gunk out with an air compressor as well. That's real noticable performance.

Yes but you will have to re oil after every ride

Going to try this, but on a separate pair like he said lol

very good video

Taking the grease away is a big no-no .. I did the same an the lot seized up.. there's no way a bit of grease is gonna make a difference. Suppose it's different if you doin a one race but not for long rides...

Yeah it spins fast now but a couple of days of hard riding and that shit is going to be frozen solid .

Very nice video. If you use full grease in there as of maker's first charge, the community's recommended bearing life expectancy would be 3~6 month assuming everyday average hours of cyclist riding at usual outside road. But if you do it as in the video, its recommended life could be reduced tremendously which is couple of weeks 🤔 order of magnitude eventhough you re-oil after every riding of the same order above. Besides the video contents, manufacturer's initial production bearing clearance setting value, Bearing race ring thickness and materials of deflection factor after full weight load while riding, ball material kinds, inner ball casing varieties, etc. depending on our research all impacts their friction amount. If you want to discuss them, please let me know.

instead of high speed oil, can i put wd 4d?

Can’t you put the seal back on?

can i do this on my cruiser? - beginner rider here

look better without load... but heat lot and ruine it quick... can size too... need minimum lube ... or u can change bearing every week race lol ...

That won't last long until the wheels will be slow again.

You only getting the bikes original speed when u very first brought the bike from the store but u not getting extra speed like a motor. Decrease your body weight and keep your chain clean and take off heavy parts off your bike , like a heavy metal basket or very heavy locks and u will get more SPEED

better you can make it faster by some lemon drop and then wash it . if it doesn't work just tell me
