I hope you don't just toss your old bearings. There are plenty of people who would be willing to put in the time clean and re-lube them, and especially old zealous should still be pretty good. Should make a great hand-me-down for the local groms.
I got 3 sets of zealous and after a while they all get noisey when u spinn them, some more and some less. I clean mine properly and re lube them but the issue i had is that the bearing shell (the green round thing) tends to bend and then causing friction on to the balls of the bearing. Im tired of cleaning them on a regular basis. Now i just buy cheap bearings and replace them every 6-8 months. On aliexpress i found cheap built in bearings just like zealous for only 6 bucks a set. Does the job..
Thank you, just recently got into longboarding. I noticed that I was having to constantly push to keep a good consistent speed unless I am going down hill.
Let me save you some time, this is one giant zealous add. Unless you're racing, fresh bearings aren't that important. I've ridden multiple sets of bearings in the rain and all they needed was some lube. Additionally, I've had some terrible sounding bearings roll fine for months. Let's not take someone's opinion as facts people!
ChEeSeOnUrBuNs I think it’d still be a bit sketchy to ride on unpleasing-sounding bearings. But, thanks for the information, I didn’t know they’d still roll for months 😂
Although this doesn't take away from the fact zealous bearings are pretty damn good, especially for the price point. Plus, even after riding them in the rain, they'll still work fine, even after a lil bit of rust
@@ShitakiBoy zealous are nothing else than cheap chinese bearings mass produced with green bearing shields and packed in a fancy round container. Ive found the same copy of those bearings on AliExpress with black or red outer shields for only 6 bucks. Same Built in style and everything. Just go and look on the net. I stopped cleaning my zealous bearings and once they wear out i just replace them with new ones from AEx.
I like your channel but I don't agree with this video. I have run the same single set of both reds ceramics and swiss ceramics for the past 10 years. With regular cleaning they should maintain peak performance for years. And if you break up the price over that time it's not much per year at all. I just don't agree with throw away culture these days , people just need to take better care if their things. Just my 2 sense but it's easy to say when your getting free bearings. People shouldn't take product advise from sponsors videos
This is great practical advice that most people need to hear. However, I must say that there are some relatively good value 608 bearings out from bearing companies that don't market to any skate industries. I have some hybrid bearings - Si3N4 black ceramic with stainless steel races - that are light, durable, and long spinning. I find that I got a bit more roll (carrying speed) out of them, but the to speed is exactly the same. The biggest thing is that you can clean and lube them multiple times over, but you must clean and lube them properly! However, for most people - not like me :D - your advice to chuck worn out ones and throw in some new ones is the most practical. Pro tip: used fully sealed bearings for the rain.
Are your current bushings bad? Are they too stiff? Too squishy? Grab some orangatang nipples. Orange ones are the softest, purple is medium, and yellow is the hardest. I'm about 150-160 and I have the yellow nips. I like my board to be very reboundy, so I went for the harder ones. But, even with my kingpin as loose as it will go (the nut is literally only halfway on) its still pretty tight compared to other boards. They aren't too expensive, so it wouldn't even be unreasonable to pick up all three sets and see which one is the best for you. Experimenting is the only way to find your perfect setup.
Great upload Crunchie... this is really important since there is so much hype and unnecessary money being spent here. My friends spend some good money on expensive bearings while i am using just some Bones reds and Spitfire cheapshots for a year and they ride smoother and quieter than everybody else's. The difference is just me as a good DIY guy, always take them apart, clean and lubricate with proper lubricants, they are always clean. Thats it.
For the price, It wouldn't even be unreasonable to say they are the best bearings ever. So cheap and they perform so well. I can't even tell a difference between them and my Bones Swiss
yo crunchie, you think you could do a video explaining what it was like when you first started longboarding, and what was some of the things you did that helped you progress in the sport.
I was riding 5 miles back home in the pissing rain, and my nickel board got destroyed, it’s my ride to school so I changed them immediately, and it’s quarantine so I have as much time as I want to get them, and I agree with the idea of buying cheap bearings and replacing often.
In my opinion, bearings are the one thing that needs to evolve SOON. Most bearings die for me after a few weeks and I've bought countless sets. Someone needs to invent a new bearing design.
I've ridden downhill and distance inline and longboard for years now and this hasn't been my experience at all. I feel like something is going wrong here. You should get months of daily riding out of them, but it depends on conditions and care.
Woah, that's crazy :o I've had mine for years and they're still ok. (But going to get new/reserve ones and deep clean these, since they're murky AF and rattle a bit, which annoys me...)
bruh i still have my abec 9 titanium and i clean like inside i just remove the shield on it and clesn it and lub it every time that i see that the bearing need a clean up so i just dont spend money on new bearing because you dont need to if you take care of your bearing yeah of course when you dont have titanium bearing you cant really wash it but hey i did it and they are not rusty they are like brand new
bibibobo baba ...Definitely clean and relube when necessary! I'm really surprised that this dude says to not take care of ur bearings! I've always maintained my bearings...
Regardless of price of the bearing, any reasonably made bearing, which is cleaned (properly) and regularly lubricated, will last longer than most skaters actual skating life. Skating well taken care of bearings does not wear out the bearing to any significant degree, and most, if not all bearing failures are due to lack of maintenance. Regularly replacing bearings is just frivolously wasteful and lazy. After 26 years of skating (and having better facial hair) I feel I have a right to contradict Crunchie on this one.
hmm, I would like to see that. I just taken mine after 1 season and you can feel they are wearing out (precision is lost). Wearing is accelerated with insufficient maintanance but I was riding only dry and they just started to produce some little noise.
I clean my alternate bearings every 5-10 hours of riding. This allows me to buy one new set of decent bearings (i like bronson speeds) every year for hilling during the summer-fall while its gorgeous and dry out, and alternate between two other sets for "dry" and "wet" cruising. Since i live in a place that gets lots of snow and rain in the winter-spring theres almost always moisture or a metric fuckton of salt on the roads for half the year which combine to make even the nicest ceramics corrode like a pickle in a pussy. It takes a bit of practice but you can completely take apart bearings for cleaning if you really want to squeeze as much life out of them as possible but it can be dangerous if you dont do it properly. Even the tiniest bend or knick in the rings can nake your bearings seize then explode, causing you to pizza when you meant to french fry. Then youre gonna have a bad time. Really though he makes excellent points and if you can afford it just buy bearings more frequently. If you do clean and lube, avoid the crap that says it makes your bearings spin faster. It almost always overpriced and wont make you roll down a hill any quicker. Look for stuff that focuses on cleaning or mix something up yourself. Good lube is meant to grab onto the dirt/grime/rust, break it down, and use the centripetal force of the wheels spinning to sling it back out from where it came in. Im personal to a brand called skanunu because it was like 5$ for the bottle and a couple drops cleans bearings better than russian vodka cleans car engines. Also ive only gone through a third of the bottle in a year.
With ceramic, i don't feel like they get ruined when I go in rain and they get filled with dirt. I've really abused my ceramic bearings over many years and they hold upp well.
Hi! I have a new Mindless board, and the wheels really don't spin that long. Wheels are tight enough and not to loose. Any idea how this could happen or is this just poor quality? And maybe make a video one day with how you started with all this and some tips on how to begin downhilling/sliding. Keep up the good videos!
Could you please make a vid on how to slide I've seen a lot of people really hang theyre feet of the rails in a heelside and I want to learn how to do some fast drifts
Esteemed Crunchie... I LOVE your Vids, LOVE the Stache, an'I got TONS o'Qs for You! Especially re: (the dreaded) 'TendonitiS' of the Achilles' Tendon: I am to stay off my Deck for SIX WEEKS. Fahk. Please tell me if You have ANY recommendations for a rapid recovery, Mate! Vielen Dank!
When he says not to ride in the rain,listen to him,trust me,I’d know from recent experience that riding in the rain/wet COMPLETELY destroooyyssss your bearings.
Hey Crunchie I’m a huge fan, and you got me started on longboarding. But I’ve always wondered what wheels you use. I use the Race Formula from Sector 9, but they aren’t great for sliding
I bought a Santa Cruz complete board years ago and to this day it is still the fastest board I own, and I've never changed the beardings. I've purchased several other boards over the years, changed bearings, changed wheels. Still can't replicate that set up. I know the trucks (bullet), the wheels (oj 3), and from what I can find out Santa Cruz uses abce-3 beardings on their complete builds. I haven't bought them yet, so I don't know if that will be the missing link. Any thoughts?
I'm glad you are doing this. I've been free riding for a while now, and I recently got a drop deck board by Atom. It has ABEC 9 bearings that have been greased, and they work great. However I've been having a problem. It seems like the trucks have a tendency to vibrate and cause a speed wobble. It's as if my trucks have been loosened completely, and it's ruining my stability. I changed out the bushings for the ones on my older, more ridden board, and it rode just fine. I don't know if it's just that I am the cause of it since I'm used to riding softer freeride bushings, or if the others are just no good. Anyone have answers?
I mean no offense but the atom board as a complete is a entry level complete. You can't expect high precision tolerances from cheaper cast trucks. You could try to upgrade the pivot cups and stiffer bushings though it might help
If you take the shields off and clean them in alchool or gasoline and then lube, they will last a long time. As for the bearing making too much noise, it just means it's running dry.. I only replace them when they start to have some significant lateral play. I found that using a thicker oil makes them last a lot longer
Thicker oil will help with longevity, but greatly effect performance. The added resistance of the viscous lube will prevent you from getting the full performance out of the bearings. I swear by speed cream.
The question remains. How do I get more speed .that's without finding a steeper hill or pushing harder. I just want the board to gain more speed on same hill with same push and no pumping.
Well you need a light board (preferably something low to the ground)with spacers and decent bearings also wheels made for speed(plenty videos on RUclips on wheels).after about 8-20 hrs of breaking in your new bearings ..you should be hitting a higher speed off one pump ...sorry for the broken English I’m Cuban 🤘
Running zelous on my tan tien. So far best bearings, and I do clean mine but I'm very meticulous so I haven't had any issues. Triflow does the trick of keeping water out of the bearings so so far rain hasn't done any harm
Hey what brand is best or at least trustable this is my first time I’m building my downhill longboard from scratch so any advice is good advice sorry if this question is obvious or stupid in your opinion
Hey dude I'm from nz too were can u get those bearings I tryd ur link to there site but there didnt seem any way to creat an account unless I'm just a spaz
Dammit i have no money! otherwise id devinitly be a patreon! and damn when i saw you had Zealous i was like HELL yes, i want some of those so bed after i found them on Muir
Unloaded performance doesn't mean anything. They may not roll when the wheels are in the air, but once you're on your board spin like crazy ... Get on your board and try to see how they feel !
Hi! sometimes after a slide i grab my board and and the wheels is isn't rotatin that much but if i do a force slap is like they correct! I don't know if is a bearing problem or wheels , I feel like the bearings is geting off somehow? even if I tight them just before! it occurs in all four wheels depends on the slide done
Its May and I bought precision bearing in january. They are a bit noisy and a bit sloppy. Should I change them? They costed around 15 bucks... Ik its not a lot but I don't have the money to replace them and, well, they are precision bearings. What should I do?

You can clean and maintain cheap bearings to last just as long if not longer than Swiss ceramics.
