I’ve been riding a set of Bronson g3’s Since they came out maybe 2016 so like 3 years and they still work great and I haven’t lost a single shield, never cleaned them, from time to time I wipe them with a paper towel/dried cum rag from wiping off my girlfriend once in awhile. I have some weird sex/skateboarding rituals but I’ll look for a madness thread to put those in.

its always wack when a company directly attacks a competitor through their advertising. if you actually make an objectively superior product the consumer will find out from word of mouth or first hand use. when you try to beat them over the head with it you just come off as desperate. usually when companies do this theyll at least have an example demonstrating why theyre the better choice like a superior manufacturing process, a favorable statistic, or some kind of test between the two products, but in this case its just bronson loudly saying "yep, were better @bonesbearings".

This "beef" was probably manufactured for marketing purposes, so I wouldn't take it too seriously. Also if you think that Spitfire Cheapshots are better than Reds, you either don't skate or are an idiot, or both.

If Reds were so good why would Bones even bother making Super Reds and Swiss? I'd compare Bronson G2 to Reds and the G3 to (maybe) Super Reds.

I took the shields off my G3's and they are still going strong after a couple years now. Nice and loud so people move out my way on them pavements. Commute in the rain when I have too and got no problems with them. Will buy G3's again.

I buy super reds but when the bearings finally deform from stomping I buy reds.
I take the ceramic balls from the SR put them in the reds.
Ceramic bearings grind up shit in your races and keep your bearings from deforming as easily. if you clean them after they can be used in the rain and snow.

I have yet to try Bronson. I feel like the Raws would not be able to handle the filth I skate in.

Element white ceramic was the best bearings I’ve ever had. I took great care of them. Lasted from 2002-2016

I prefer raws to Swiss, I go back and forth and id say the raws cruise longer and are faster, swiss are smoother snd most likely last longer but need more maintenance due to the oil based lube and shields.

According to jenkam Bronson was second to bones Swiss.  Reds was 3rd to last.

I guess I'm lucky.  I bought a set of G3's a year or so ago and they work fine.  They're fast, smooth and are fairly easy to clean.  I don't know about the G2's.  I've never had them.  They may be shit.  I had a set of Reds and they were fine for several months but started to eventually seize up even with routine cleaning.  I do feel like I got my money's worth out of the Reds for the price though. 

A while back, because of comments like "Bronson are Garbage", "They suck" etc, I got paranoid that maybe they weren't as fast or as smooth as I thought and maybe I was missing out.  I saw Indy Blacks getting some love and I found some on sale and ordered them.  They're good.  I like em, but they aren't as fast and don't roll as far as the Bronsons.  Maybe I got  lucky and got a decent set.  Maybe the G2's are garbage and the G3's are a little better.  I haven't had swiss ceramics or Swiss 6's or Racing Reds.  They may all blow G3's away, but so far I can't find another bearing in the price range of the G3's that even keep up much less are better.

This is true
Yup, check the back of the boxes... Shipping from the same factory.

Ive always been a Swiss guy.
For years I wouldn't ride anything else and I never had to replace them.
Working in a shop I'd always have some privileged customer leave a set of Swiss after replacing theirs.
So if I had a dud bearing I'd just swap it out and keep it moving.

Last xmas I was sent a promo set of Swiss Ceramics from the homie Rob at AWH.
I was stoked! I mean shit, they're the most expensive bearings out.
After skating them for a year, including two SF trips, they were never right.
I had to clean them three times within that year and they would still lock up and squeak skating the local park.
I was given a set of the Bronson Raws from my NHS rep a few months back and have had zero problems.
But since this stupid insta beef sparked up I'll probably set up a normal set of Swiss again.

Bones Swiss or Super Swiss or that other "labyrinth one"(if it still exists). Theyre 50-60 bucks. Probably cheaper online if you shop around. If youre using anything else and arent under 160 pounds then youre skating too slow or you only skate parks. Its pretty much as simple as that.

but G3s are a higher price point than reds so it's expected to be better quality. how the G2's stack up against reds? that seems like a fair fight. Or how do Bronson raws stack up against bones swiss?

Nothing more than stupid social media antics as a means to draw attention to themselves.

Had a set of Bronsons a few years ago and like most people's experience, they were trash.

You could argue that there's better bearings than Bone's Reds but I doubt anyone would say that there's a bearing out there that's as solid (and historically proven) as Bones Swiss.

I've skated Bones and I've skate Bronson. Both make good bearings. If Bones wasn't so vanilla maybe they'd fire back. Shits funny, skating needs more shit talking.

Damn this just goes to show u how fucking good bones bearings are. I’ve rode for many many years now, and in my first 10 years I always rode bones Swiss. I would blow a set roughly 6 months-a year. Then I started fooling around with some different bearings, and about 3 years ago I got 2 sets of ceramics for my street board and cruiser, and they have seriously lasted this long with no damage, and are still the fastest bearings I’ve ever ridden. I haven’t looked for bearings since, so I had no idea bones had copied seismics shit a couple years ago.

So, bearings with a built-in spacer have existed since at least the 80's - just a heads up. Never heard of Seismic. Budget Walmart completes often had really shitty bearings with the built-in spacer, and lots of rollerblade bearings had them too (think I saw a pack in a sports store or something).

They should make race Swiss six balls. I love that design. No fiddling with spacers or washers. I think Reds are great too but it would be nice to upgrade to Swiss six balls and still have the built in spacers and slightly extended inner race on the other side too.

its always wack when a company directly attacks a competitor through their advertising. if you actually make an objectively superior product the consumer will find out from word of mouth or first hand use. when you try to beat them over the head with it you just come off as desperate. usually when companies do this theyll at least have an example demonstrating why theyre the better choice like a superior manufacturing process, a favorable statistic, or some kind of test between the two products, but in this case its just bronson loudly saying "yep, were better @bonesbearings".

Not true, the Baker vs Bootleg beef in their print ads were awesome.

I ride independent bearings.
Someone already said it but I bet all these bearings are made by the same people. Just re-branding products with different names. I worked in a frozen pizza factory and we made pizzas for 12 different brands. All the pizzas were the same and they retailed for prices that ranged between 4$-16$ for the same pizza. Consumers are really dumb. I would only go on record saying I ride NHS product, I would not want them coming after me. NHS is the best!!!

bronson spent several years designing the G3 and the Raw bearings. both are good bearings. the G2s are crappy bearings packaged to compete with Reds. bearings should be grouped by price point. in the $20 price range Reds is the best of the group. Reds is the same price as bronson G2 and cheaper than Andele 7 and Hard luck six ball.

Bronsons add is stupid because G3s are $30 and reds are $18 so their more expensive bearing better out perform the cheaper one

Yeah. Black Magic ran some heinous ads. A photo of a mentally disabled man holding a board with a bad grip job, saying that he needed holes in the grip to do a better job. And I think Mob countered with an ad that said "Not 'Magic,' just 'better.' "

Weird how so many things in skating are cyclical, even hardware company beef.

I bought Bronson’s within the first month or 2 of then coming out.
I was not at all impressed, I bought them from tactics and left a review, nicely saying they weren’t good
(In my personal experience) and it was even possible that I got a set that maybe had some kind of defect.

Tactics emailed me after that review and they made it right and said I could pick another set of bearings that were more or less in the same price range.

I chose black panther 7s which I had wanted to try since like 2002 lol.

They were def better than the Bronson’s.

Why would anybody ride any bearing other than Bones Swiss?

Just clean them every year or so and they will last forever. It is a well known secret that even pros sponsored by other bearing companies have Bones Swiss in there.

And I'll just say it: if you are paying extra for 'branded' griptape with logos and shit you are an idiot. If plain black Jessup isn't working for you, the problem isn't the grip, it's you.

I love how triggered you are all over some funny insta posts. Thank god you weren't around in 90's and all the shit talking that went on in ads. When did skaters get so soft. I've skated Bones and I've skate Bronson. Both make good bearings. If Bones wasn't so vanilla maybe they'd fire back. Shits funny, skating needs more shit talking. Lighten the fuck up and laugh a little. Or stand in circle, hold each others dicks, and sing Kumbaya.

Pretty sure a lot of us in here actually were around in the 90s...

Well to be fair/logical, the vast majority of regular skaters don’t want to spend the money or don’t have the extra money to spend or don’t really care about having the best bearings, they just want decent bearings.

This "beef" was probably manufactured for marketing purposes, so I wouldn't take it too seriously. Also if you think that Spitfire Cheapshots are better than Reds, you either don't skate or are an idiot, or both.
Cheapshots are the only thing keeping my 30mm wheels spinning at decent speed, Bones couldn't do that and they didn't last as long either. They might be better when you can afford some STFs to go along.

There is a legitimate arguement for Mob. Mob works fucking better then any other griptape given the perfect conditions. I’ve noticed through testing that Mob when taken to a humid environment or in colder weather or in areas of bipolar weather that it’s grip goes to shit real quick. Jessup on the other hand is prolly 2nd best too Mob in terms of grip, but that’s only under like SoCal ideal conditions, anywhere else Jessup owns mob.

ha remember the TWS product thing they did yearly? in each one they had industry ppl debunk myths and one of em was the bones TM who said its funny how many customers will pop the shields cause it shrinks the life of the bearings and basically ppl will go rebuy them

 ive had a set of swiss for 6 years- the shields are a bit funky now but they still spin super fast, haven't cracked or broken the crowns - i clean em out once a year with acetone and use speed cream every couple months.


had a set of the swiss 6's that was 2 years strong -but had to leave the setup at the airport  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Reds really are just the perfect bearing when you factor in the price. I’ve had plenty of sets that lasted a long time, and a few that lasted maybe 2 weeks. Sometimes you just get duds. Swiss are obviously better quality but they always made my setup sound dead whether it was the smoother and better quality balls and raceways, or a better quality stock bearing lube? I’m too lazy to clean bearings, so the dead sound and price never made them worth it to me. Reds for life.
