I needed to replace bearings in my Iron CobraBass drum pedals. I remember using these bearings from skateboarding so I bought a set for my pedals. It’s almost night and day from the bearings Tama put in their Iron cobras to these Redz. Plus, unlike what Tama used, I can and still know how to service these bearings.

I’m glad to see these are still being made. It was pretty nostalgic installing the same bearings that I used to use on my kids’ boards.Great upgrade!

These bearings are amazing!PROS:Extremely smooth rideQuietFairly fast. Not as good as Bones Swiss or Ceramic, but these are better than a lot of bearings out there.CheapCONS:Get dirty fairly easilyThat brings me to the most important part of this review: CleaningI cleaned my bearings because they became dirty after much use. I used 70% Alcohol to soak them in, and then dried them using a hair dryer. I then re-lubed with Bones Speed Cream (another product I highly recommend buying). Anticipation of my renewed speed coursing through me, I stepped onto my board. I pushed and...not only did I not notice a speed increase, I noticed a slight speed decrease. Also, the bearings began to make a slight grinding sound. Tiring after a few days of this, I attempted to clean my bearings yet again (I know, really smart right?). However, upon re-installment into my board I realized that the grinding noise had in fact gotten louder. The moral of my story: DO NOT attempt to clean or re-lube these bearings in any way without being completely and utterly sure of what you are doing. Not having this knowledge ruined my first set of these bearings. However, I am buying a new set, so again I would say these are amazing bearings!

The bearings seem to be some kind of popular standard among boarders. I recall using them in the past as well. I bought them recently as I was piecing together a new longboard to have fun cruising with.First the myth. I've seen videos of people claiming the get their wheels to spin for more than 15 and up to 30 minutes. Wrong. I'm not sure what those people are doing, likely also oiling it up excessively somehow but that's definitley not going to happen out of the box. You can expect to get a couple minutes of nice smooth spin on a pair of nice and smooth trucks with good spacers in between. That's the fact. And that's great ! It's what I expected and results in a nice ride. Just watch for those exaggerations out there. Anyway, wheel spin doesn't always correlate with how long you will cruise without pushing since there's so many factors involved. A free spinning wheel is not real life riding by any means. Also once your wheel spins well for over a minute, any extra spin after that won't be appreciably noticeable after that while riding, similar to how once you watch a full 1080P resolution film, higher resolutions don't make that much of a noticeable difference anymore.I think these are great bearings to switch out any sluggish old or stock bearings with.I did get a pack wich had a wobbly bearing that was noticeable made the wheel wobble and made a horrible noise, but switched it out and others just fine.Recommend for affordability and met my realistic expectations, while providing a great ride.

I'm a relatively new skater at the time of this review I've only been skating for about a month. At the moment I'm using a cheap walmart cruiser but will have a stereo vinyl within the next month anyway, I replaced the stock bearings on the board and saw instant results. The stock bearings were ABEC-5s which were metal therefore unable to be cleaned and within 2 weeks were looking like crap. I've always seen people mentioning using these bearings and they're right! These bearing even for the cheap price really bring out the life in a board even if it's cheap. These bearings roll smoother, faster, and much longer than the stock ABEC-5s. I haven't broken them in yet and they still roll pretty quickly so if they are good out of the package I can only imagine how much better they can get since they'll get better than they are now. If you're looking for new bearings but want to work your way up and not spend a a lot of money these bearings are the way to go. Oh and order them from amazon.com themselves if you can. I got them in the most timely fashion I've ever had ordering from Amazon. There was no window of when it should arrive just a date that it will arrive by. Thanks again for these great bearings!
