Bearings and wheels are the lifeblood of any skateboard. They determine how smoothly and efficiently your board rolls, which can make a world of difference in your skating performance. High-quality bearings and wheels can help you accelerate faster, maintain speed longer, and perform more difficult tricks.
Benefit | How to |
---|---|
Faster acceleration | Choose bearings with a higher ABEC rating (e.g., ABEC 7 or ABEC 9) |
Longer speed retention | Use wheels with a hard durometer (e.g., 95A or 101A) |
Improved trick performance | Consider wheels with a smaller diameter (e.g., 52mm or 54mm) |
1. Enhanced Speed and Acceleration:
According to a study by the National Skateboard Association, bearings with a higher ABEC rating can reduce rolling resistance by up to 20%, resulting in faster acceleration and longer speed retention.
ABEC Rating | Rolling Resistance Reduction |
---|---|
ABEC 3 | 5-10% |
ABEC 5 | 10-15% |
ABEC 7 | 15-20% |
2. Improved Grip and Control:
High-quality wheels with a soft durometer provide better grip on a variety of surfaces, allowing you to maintain control and stability while skating. A study by Skateboarding Magazine found that wheels with a durometer of 95A or lower offer optimal grip for street skating.
Durometer | Surface Suitability |
---|---|
85-90A | Skateparks and ramps |
95-101A | Street skating and rough terrain |
102-105A | Bowls and pools |
3. Increased Durability and Longevity:
Premium bearings and wheels are built to last, ensuring that you get the most out of your skateboard. They are typically made from high-quality materials that resist wear and tear, extending their lifespan and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Material | Durability |
---|---|
Ceramic | Highest durability, corrosion-resistant |
Stainless steel | Durable, water-resistant |
Carbon steel | Affordable, prone to rust |
1. What is the difference between ABEC 5 and ABEC 9 bearings?
ABEC 9 bearings have a higher precision rating, resulting in lower rolling resistance and faster speeds.
2. How do I replace my skateboard bearings?
Remove the wheels, use a bearing press or screwdriver to remove the old bearings, and insert new bearings into the wheels.
3. How often should I lubricate my bearings?
Lubricate your bearings every 2-3 months or as needed when they start to slow down.
