Oh man, the Autobahn bearings were the worst bearings I've ever had. I remember buying a set cause they were only 10 bucks, the cage for each bearing broke one after another within a week and a half's time. I remember popping the shields off my bearings to see what was wrong with them and having the cage fall out in little pieces.

eeesh, so far so good for me but i'll definetely keep an eye on that. do you think if i pop the shields off it will help any?

Not sure, possibly.
Who knows, maybe I just a faulty set or somethin, but still, make sure to keep an eye out for broken bearings just in case.

Cardiel Anti-Hero 8.38
ACE 33s with bones medium (wish i had opted for 44s was on 8.25 when purchased)
Bones swiss
spitfire Mike Anderson SFW wides 52mm
wieid grip job
1 and 1/8 inch allen hardware no clue what brand it was free

Next time you buy trucks know that 44s will work fine with something as thin as 8.1.  You can barely, if at all, see the axle. 

[pica]

is it just me, or do you have no grip at all on the right side of the board?
i always have weird puzzle, cut out, lines spraypaint colour griptapes,but i couldn't skate without grip on the edge od the deck

Titanium bearings of any brand are usually a bad idea. Just buy Bones Reds, Super Reds, or Swiss.

Really? I'm not that picky about bearings because they break all the time anyways, I just noticed that we had those diamonds and remembered I used to have pig titaniums that I was pretty happy with...

well if they work for you, then go for it. I just wouldn't get them again from my own personal experience.

Yeah those two are the only ones you're really going to find. Unless you wanna drop money on longboard trucks...

[noileum]

have you tried the Ace 66'?

I had them on an old school 9.6 ish board and they fit just fine.

While they're tricky to get hold of there are a few places out there that still have em
