IMO,RM50-100 bearing price range quite good enough..better grab a good set of wheels rather than super expensive bearing..

Still remember singapore bearing?i guess that the most cheap bearing available..

Added on June 5, 2008, 3:04 pmbearing spacer usually came with truck..but some come with bearing..it's a ring looking thing at each truck rod..OMG, how i'm gonna explain this
the purpose is for not letting the bearing slip inside i think

here some tips on choosing the right bearings :

Your bearings are inside little metal rings that fit inside your skateboard wheels. There's only one way to rate bearings at the moment, and it doesn't work well with skateboard bearings. The rating is called ABEC and goes from 1 to 9, but only odd numbers. Unfortunately it was originally developed to rate the bearings in machines, not on skateboards.

Therefore, the ABEC rating only rates the precision of a bearing. Plus, the more precise he bearing, the weaker they usually are. Skateboarders take their bearings and abuse them, as normal skateboarding does. Skateboarders want bearings that are both precise and durable, so the ideal ABEC rating for a skateboard is 3 or 5. Smooth enough, but not going to break when you jump on your board. Some skateboard bearings don't even bother with the ABEC rating system. The best thing to do is try some out, ask your friends, or ask the guy behind the counter at the skate shop.

One warning, though: don't rush out and buy the most expensive bearings right away. You'll likely do something without thinking about it and ruin your first set, and there are some good medium-priced bearings out there, like Bones Reds.


p/s : once more,correct me if i'm wrong ...

By the way, welcome to the family bro Fuzers...

wahh!!! s3polz..u r really good in explanation..nice job bro..nice job

thanks ejat..
we should help each other in order to keep this thread alive

Nope,the bearing have 'singapore' word written on it..i bought last time for RM20 from N&Z,which i think the cheapest and slowest bearing available..and that RM20 consist of 1 set bearing..cheap eh?

After that i bought red bones around RM50-60,forgot the actual price..



The bearing similar to this picture,but have singapore word on it..
