Bones Swiss Bearings

Kenjd

Hi all.
Just wondering. I have a set of Bones Reds bearings and I'm thinking of buying Powell Swiss. They cost about €65 for a full set. My question is are they worth it? I'm running on Bones Skatepark Formula wheels at the mo, anyway answers to the usual address!!!

i got my bones swiss bearing for €40 in g1 this time last year, tho i think they were on special offer or sumthin then, they're great tho! just remember to wash em if they get dirty cuz u dont want em to get wrecked after spendin that much money on them!

The swiss are much better then the reds, but as above, you will need to clean them more often, but its worth it,
General rule is that the better the bearing the more you need to clean and lube them, thats because they are made to higher tolerances and so theres less space between all the moving parts,

This is kinda off topic but I don't have a clue what bearings I have at the moment and ive been skating 5 years lol

But yea on topic Swiss are probably best bearings ever made for skateboarding!

I remember seeing a set for €112

I think they are €65 in my local shop! Thats before the sale!
I'll go and get them anyway, I know they'll make me skate better :rolleyes:
