When to Consider Replacing Bearings?

Are the wheels of your freestyle scooter not spinning well or making squeaky noises while riding? Sometimes it's enough to clean the bearings and add a drop of oil, for example.Bones bearing spray. It's time to replace the bearings. Why does this happen? Sometimes water gets into the bearings, other times dust, and as a result, they rust or start to grind. Sometimes they simply wear out to such an extent that it is necessary to buy new ones.

But be careful, if your wheels are also tarnished, for example,

Brake pads, holes in the rubber, or worn-out rubber, just buy new wheels that are sold with bearings.

We recommend riding a freestyle scooter only on surfaces designed for it (skatepark, plaza), or on smooth stone on the streets, etc. When maintaining, definitely do not wash the scooter in the shower!

 

How to choose new bearings?

Selecting bearings is not that complicated. Choose a brand you know or a brand someone recommends to you. What is ABEC for? ABEC only indicates the precision of bearing manufacturing, not their speed. Sometimes ABEC 5 bearings are much faster than others with ABEC 9! However, the more precise the bearing (higher ABEC), the longer it should last with proper maintenance. Scootshop.cz bearings supplied in a pack of 4 pieces (you need 2 bearings for one wheel) with spacers will also serve very well

How to replace bearings?

How to remove bearings: According to Martin Nogol: "just knock them out". Place the wheel on an elevated platform so that there is space under the center of the wheel where the bearing can later fall out. Take a screw or screwdriver in your hand, a hammer, and carefully knock out the bearings until they fall out of the wheels.
