Even though the title states 16 pack, only 8 pack bearing is delivered. Effective cost is double of what is the actial cost

For a bit of background. I’m almost 44 years old and skated only Bones Swiss back in the 80’s. I’ve just gotten back on the board every Sunday for our 40+ club. I initially started with Bones Reds and Indy 7’s. They were okay but my friend told me about Bronson Raw so I ordered a set. They were awesome out of the box but after 3 sessions of pushing around, they got super and slow on my back trucks (I’m on the heavy side). I thought that maybe my weight played a role. I thoroughly cleaned and used Bronson lube to no avail. I decided to return them and get these bearings. All I can say is that they are super fast, quiet and smooth out of the box. The Swiss make the best bearings and Bones have the name to back them up. If you’re hesitant to spend the money for Swiss, don’t be. Keep them clean and lubed and you’ll be that guy that hasn’t replaced his bearings for years!

As on older skater ( in my 50’s) I have the luxury of being able to afford kit that i would fantasise about as a teenager, these bearings are fantastic I have just upgraded them from a Bones Red, ( running with Spitfire SPF) wheels on Independent 169. I went for a Skate in the early hours this morning and to be honest I had forgotten that I had changed out the bearings last night, so no placebo effect, straight away I felt that the board was running smoother, then I remembered and paid attention. How much faster ? Hard to say, they definitely feel different and smoother the change was not as much as changing from Bones to Spitfires for example but there is definitely a change and for the better, i have a set of Bones SPF in the garage wot a slight flat spot on them. I am planning to put them back with these bearings and on a concrete park these should fly. Bare in mind that I am a life long surfer who skates not a street skater so out side of transitions i cannot comment on these but on transitions worth every penny

Hatte vorher die race reds und diese zurück geschickt. diese Swiss bearing sind mega. ich musste höllisch aufpassen nach dem Wechsel dass ich nicht von der strasse abkomme, so ein enormer unterschied, die Geschwindigkeit ist enorm gestiegen.

I am completely satisfied with these. I bought these to replace my older set of Bones Swiss and I have no regrets. I longboard as my main source of transportation usually averaging 20-25 miles a day, so I need dependable long lasting bearings. The break-in period on these was about 2 days for me, 63 miles, before I really noticed the performance of these bearings. I have already put roughly 680 miles on these and have had no issues with them. I cleaned and re-lubed them for the first time at 256 miles and even then I only did so because I thought they would need it, much to my surprise they were still lubed and clean in the tracks. They ride very smooth and I have noticed they have a much smoother acceleration (kick off) than regular Bones Swiss. They also maintain speed much longer with much less effort. I have had sets of every Bones bearings including Swiss Ceramics, and the Super Swiss 6 have outperformed all of them. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for well built, dependable, quality bearings.

I've had these on my board for a few races now, and a bunch of sessions. They roll farther, longer, faster, and smoother than all my other friends setups using regular Reds or other brands. Hands down at this $39.50 price point I cannot think of a better bearing for the money. The 6ball design really reduces friction and the results speak for themselves. Some people argue that bearings make no difference or not enough difference to factor into the performance of your board..but I've proven to myself and quite a few others that a good bearing can go a long way. I start at the back of the group behind my friends and finish far ahead. Every run. Just a great bearing. I'll be buying a set for every deck I run. I highly recommend getting the Bones Cleaning bottle and some speed cream. These stay cleaner longer than regular reds because of the shields, but keeping them clean keeps them fast.Edit: After having the these same set of Bones SS 6Balls on my downhill board for over a year..they are still the best bearings I have ever ridden and especially for their price here on Amazon. (They retail for around $60) As this is an update after long periods and many many use, I keep these clean with the Bones bearing cleaning kit (that bottle kit) and use speed cream every time I clean them. I clean them about once every 3 months or if they are particularly covered in grime after rougher surfaces. After over a year of frequent use I still overtake people not using these bearings in many many races, and glide much much longer during prolonged kicking over flat surfaces. If you're kicking around the idea of buying these at all...just buy them. They are excellent quality and sustain excellent performance over time.

I am an artistic/disco quad roller skater using vanilla freestyles with Vgrip interceptor wheels. I think I'm the first quad skater to rate or perhaps even use these bearings as everyone else appears to be a skateboarder.Negatives: You must tighten the wheel nuts all the way down, not super tight, but all the way. My right front wheel came off during break in. These bearings for some reason cause the nut to loosen. Not sure why. There should be a torque specification for these to prevent confusion. the 8 pack is only enough for one skate. buy 2 packs, which they don't warn you about. break in time is not a sure thing, so don't listen to the product description. very misleading. just start skating and you'll know when they're broken in. Be careful with these bearings, once broken in they are super fast and you can hurt yourself. Bearings are about 1 mm off the quad axle, which seems odd, but see comments below.Positives: The bearing fits loose, but actually leads to precision handling especially with figure 8s, Smooth gliding bearings at all speeds. Easy to clean, and you don't need spacers if your wheel has a machined groove. If you are a speed skater, you will never lose with these bearings. Trust me on that. A lot of fun for a great price.-Len Martin, El Paso TX
