Spaceballs Bearings

The built-in spacers eliminate the need for separate speed rings and spacers, which simplifies installation and ensures your wheels are perfectly aligned. This setup reduces friction and prevents the bearings from shifting inside the wheel, resulting in a smoother ride.

Yes, these are standard-sized bearings designed to fit almost any longboard, cruiser, or skateboard wheel. Because they include integrated spacers, they are particularly effective for wheels that require precise spacing to prevent side-to-side movement.

An Abec 7 rating indicates a high level of precision and tighter tolerances compared to lower ratings like Abec 3 or 5. This generally translates to a smoother, faster roll and better durability under the stress of skating.

No, you do not need extra washers. The Spaceballs design integrates the spacers and washers directly into the bearing, so you can simply slide them onto your axle and tighten your axle nut.

While they are constructed from stainless steel and built to be more resistant to the elements than standard chrome steel bearings, they are not waterproof. It is still best to avoid riding through puddles or wet conditions to maintain their performance and longevity.
