What brand of abec – 9 bearings should i get for my roller blades?

Any suggestions? Been lookin around.. found arsenal abec 9s reeeeallly cheep but i cant find them anywhere to see how bad they are if i can get 16 for $10. Secondly my skates are about 4 years old should i get new spacers as well?

$10 isn’t bad for a set of bearings, especially ABEC-9′s.

However, bearings are overrated. Unless you are a pro, and can utilize any gains you get from top of the line bearings, you can get away with any old style of bearing.

I get mine from my neighbor. He is a supplier of industrial bearings. I get them form him for about 25 cents each. I have gotten a bunch for my friends as well. They all say to a man they can’t tell the difference.

Spacers shouldn’t wear out, so unless you have another set of wheels, you shouldn’t need more that 8 spacers. I get second and third sets to make wheel changes easier. I play on wood, concrete, and sport court, and can’t afford three pairs of skates, so I change wheels for each surface.

Have a good one!

Steve.
