ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

So what are you doing?

• Sealed and riding til they give up and get new.
• Shielded and doing a maintenance and lubrication routine.

Do you have the tools for working on shielded bearings? (The little gizmos for removing the retaining ring.)

I have been going shielded and servicing them for the last few years. No special tools other than a pin to pull the shields off of. Some of the race bearings I run without the shields internally since they are serviced between races.

Shielded.......last forever if you take good care of them.
