I'm pretty OCD about a lot of aspects of my setup, but bearings is not one of them. I just put em in and forget about them. As long as the cages are nylon and aren't metal, and the shields are removable, then I'm good to go. As of right now I'm riding a whole batch of mismatched bearings, just whatever I can find lying around while setting up new wheels or something. Pretty sure they're a mix of mini logos, reds, shake junts, and destroyers. I think one of them might be a bones swiss, so that's pretty cool i guess.

I feel almost the same, as long as nylon cage, and removable shields I really don't care about the brand or anything. As long as they are NOT metal cage or shields.

Are those actually good? I've thought about getting them before. Myh bearings are good now but who knows what the future holds for my bearing game. Also Hardluck ceramics are just as good as swiss. Just throwing that out there.

I've got Bronson G3's which aren't bad, but once my ankle feels like it's ready to skate I'm going back to Swiss. I did 6 years on one set before breaking a bearing, I still don't know why I got Bronson's instead of Swiss'.

We all make dumb mistakes sometimes.

Seriously. Why would you get anything else? Those 6 Ball Swiss bearings last forever, but if you just have $30-$45 just get the regular Swiss. It's better than having to buy new bearings and swap them out every other session.
At least when you're a washed-out hipster douchebag in NY, you can milk it at some decent looking, hard to skate spots. In LA you're just a tan-lined faggot in a school yard somewhere.

I have Swiss on most of my quiver but I've had great luck with Bronson g3s. Put them on my kids board and they're in great shape for being a year old. Been through countless puddles and haven't siezed or slowed down.

Are Super Reds worth the time? Anywhere to get Swiss cheap online in Europe?

Currently skating some right now. They're solid. Don't know if they're that much faster than normal reds but i imagine they might a last a little longer.

They're good, I had them on my cruiser and they lasted a good amount of time and were really fast, even survived being skated in the rain for a while. Definitely on par with reds. The only downside is the shield's aren't removable so if the shields jam your fucked.

Super reds are a noticeable enough improvement that I stopped getting normal reds altogether. More reliable/last longer, not sure if they're faster.. maybe.

In my experience bones swiss are smoother and quieter. hardluck ceramics are dumb fast though, I was very pleasantly surprised, was my first set of anything ceramic

When I started I always rode Bones Reds. As I got better I started riding Bones Super Swiss 6.
Recently Ive been skating Bronson Raw because someone hooked it up when my last Super Six blew out.
