Oldboy Premium Ceramic Skateboard Bearings (Ceramic)

Some of my favourites. They spin quite nicely and last a long time

Fantastic bearings. I was able to skate longer and faster with less effort. Great value at the price. I've recommended to my other Olderblader friends.

I have these in my inline skates and they are one of the best bearings I have skated on (only beaten by Bones ceramic Swiss which cost over £240 for 16) they are mooth and fast. I am just over six foot and weigh 103 kilos, so I present a quite a bit of load force on the bearing. I have tried (in oder of performance, best being first) Bronson G3, Oust moc9, Moto, Bones Swiss, Bones Ceramic swiis, HI-Lo Swiss, Spitfire cheapshots and the Old Boys beat them but Bones Ceramic Swiss but for a third of the cost. Whilst I do give the bearings a greater load, as I mostly skate indoors I do not do jumps, drops or grinds so not sure how they hold up to heavy impact. Cleaning first time I used Bones speed cream to lubricate and was very disappointed in the performance drop, I then tried Broson Ceramic cream, which was even worst the bearing got so hot when skating fast it caused my wheels to get hot. I tried so many different oils the one that worked best for me was Ionic flux black ceramic oil and then next is Rollerblade High-End bearing lube/dry oil. The Rollerblade dry oil is great really smooth and fast for two or three, two hour sessions, depending how quick I am skating. Then performance starts to drop off and when you go to clean, there are small white clumps of the lubricant in between the ball-bearing. Ionic Flux, which is brilliant but expensive. For me no matter how hard/fast I skate the lube lasts without any drop in performance. I clean and service my bearing about every 8 weeks (22hrs) of skating and this is only because I predominantly skate at indoor sport halls, whose tilled flooring is very dusty, which inevitably ingresses the shields. Also to clean out the ball of long hairs that has wound around the axle bolts, ick.

First time skating on ceramic bearings and I am in love. Coupled with Zombie Sure Grip 62mm MID 89a wheels and they are smooth skating in indoor halls with wooden slippery floors. I have always skated on cheaper Abec 9/11 bearings coupled with Sims Street Snake wheels 78a 58mm and wish I had discovered Oldboy ceramics a long time ago... For anyone looking for a smoother less effort skate get purchasing NOW! ;) you wont regret it I promise!

Well after talking to a friend about ceramic bearings for skates, I was a little sceptical. I have been skating for some 30 years and always gone down the steal route.. So looking around found the oldboy's and have to say just how impressed I was after my first skate in them. they have change the way I skate, less effort, more speed.. Have already put a number of friends on to them and best of all they are half the price of other ceramic bearings...

Installed in my quad skates ready for the Saturday night skate. First step on the floor and I almost crashed immediately to the amusement of my skating partner. I've been skating since the 80's and I have never experienced such free running bearings. They may look expensive, but are worth every penny.

Excellent bearings, quiet and very smooth. Ridden in all weathers very regularly over last 18m. When they do eventually wear out will 100% buy another set.

Love these bearings paired with my radar energy wheel....very smooth ride! Great price, would highly recommend!
