anyone here ever clean/oil their bearings?
just by doing that made my set of swiss last for like a half a decade.
now rolling on ceramic swiss and shit is fast.
yeah man. with the bones kit, i've got it down to about a 15 minute process.
i just buy reds... skate em for a few weeks, then clean em out with isopropanol, compressed air to dry them up, speed cream, reassemble and away i go.
i can get maybe 6 months to a year or so out of a set of reds, but they really aren't spectacular when they're nearing the end of that life cycle... but the first few cleanings brings them right back up to like new rolling condition... like nearly silent when rolled in hand.
sometimes i'll have 2 sets on the go, so i can just swap em out then clean them up whenever it's convenient.
