Man I was doing things so wrong for so long. I've been packing my bearing with grease and didn't even think about what the actual job of the bearing is. I could never a get an 1/8 of a turn free spinning it. Freaking enlightened! Thank you sir!!!!

The grease also prevents heat build up as you are rolling down a mountain road at 50 mph

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I use the hair clippers oil to lubricate the bearings.

very informative iam gonna try it

Thanks for this

After you have cleaned the bearing and also use the high speed while you can use a drill to run it for a while so that it maintains its speed for long

Thank you, that's a good idea. The speed of the drill more closely replicates the speed of a wheel and probably breaks the bearing in better. I appreciate your input. Have a great day

I use to put each bearing in a fidget spinner to break them in. Btw. Hard on cash, they're the same dimension of bearings but a lot cheaper and tbh not really made for boards but if you're struggling financially 2 fidget spinners is 8 bearings.... Providing you buy the right ones and they are usually cheaper than the cheapest set of skate quality ones.

I just got done putting the wheel back on after doing that and ima try it once my air compresser gets filled up with a air cause I deflated my tyre so it can get on easier

Have you tried to remove all the grease and put the seals back on? I don't want to do all that work for the same result

Anyone test this with empirical data? The fact that the bearing is able spin more freely shows that relative to it's own outer shell's very tiny inertia there is now less friction and therefore it looks like a win. But place an entire wheel on the bearing, or place a 150lb rider and the weight of a rider into the formula, and this very minor change in friction is likely unnoticeable. Please leave a link here, if anyone has an actual test of the gains made with a full bike.

I can’t believe anyone would actually publish a video like this for the whole world to see. I feel sorry for the kids that actually believe this stuff. They are already getting ripped off thinking they have to have the most expensive super duper ceramic Swiss bearings. Then when they get home they remove the seals and lubricant out of them and they only last a week. I’m sure the salesman’s say they’re the best but they don’t last as long as the cheaper bearings. Unbelievable that someone would demonstrate the speed of a dry non loaded bearing. Remember kids, the grease is what slows the bearings down. 🤣

@@mikehoncho5389 go kart racers do it all the time. Bearings are relatively cheap. Clean and lube every race and then toss and replace a few times a year. Ceramic also doesn’t heat up like steel. Although they are more expensive, there is a reason some Go kart chassis manufacturers went with ceramic bearings. Heat=friction=wear. Does the cost out weigh any benefit? I can’t say for sure. I guess it depends on what your intended goal is and what application it’s being used in. It’s all relative.

that's what i was thinking.. dont do this unless you wanna replace your bearings constantly or have them dry on you and blow up

Have you ever tried silicone spray instead of the high speed lube?

Yes but you will have to re oil after every ride

Fuck yeah, finally might 15mph on my board now

Can i use chain lube istead if high speed lube on the bearings would it work the same mate cheers

this would only make sense for someone who is racing and or willing to replace bearings extremely often this is NOT for most people this ill make your bike much more high maintenance bc if you do this you really have to pay attention to your bearings so they dont dry out. theres a reason we use grease not oil it keeps the bearings good way longer oil will naturally wear out faster because its thinner and will literally come out of the bearings faster.. get hot faster and wear out too.. IF your bearings go DRY while going down a hill and they WILL blow up and your wheel WILL stop turning..

great tip thanks

Easy hack just take one side out then have the exposed side facing in the wheel.

Just get skateboard lube from bones, at any skate shop. with a load makes no difference, put the seal back on what ever you do. You need to constantly change and clean the oil.

Going to try this, but on a separate pair like he said lol

Disclaimer: only do this if you have a track cycle or something that wont be exposed to the elements. If a little bit of dirt/sand gets in there it is going to grind the heck out of it and destroy your bearing. Also even if it no dirt/sand gets in there your lube has its purpose, to stop the bearing from wearing out quickly, this will also shorten your bearings lifespan by a huge margin.

Yes, you can. And you probably should or else it's like 100 times more likely to get dirt in it, or water. Unless ur either on a bike, or are riding very clean areas with no dust and dirt, you should put that seal back on.

Taking the grease away is a big no-no .. I did the same an the lot seized up.. there's no way a bit of grease is gonna make a difference. Suppose it's different if you doin a one race but not for long rides...

instead of high speed oil, can i put wd 4d?

DW40 is a degreaser

Very nice video. If you use full grease in there as of maker's first charge, the community's recommended bearing life expectancy would be 3~6 month assuming everyday average hours of cyclist riding at usual outside road. But if you do it as in the video, its recommended life could be reduced tremendously which is couple of weeks 🤔 order of magnitude eventhough you re-oil after every riding of the same order above. Besides the video contents, manufacturer's initial production bearing clearance setting value, Bearing race ring thickness and materials of deflection factor after full weight load while riding, ball material kinds, inner ball casing varieties, etc. depending on our research all impacts their friction amount. If you want to discuss them, please let me know.

Yes, this trick won’t make you go faster on its own, but a wheel/bearing with less resistance allows you to accelerate quicker and easier, on top of being able to reach a higher top speed. With less resistance, it just makes it easier to go faster.

better you can make it faster by some lemon drop and then wash it . if it doesn't work just tell me

That won't last long until the wheels will be slow again.
