Update on my new, but already squeaky Quantum ceramics...
A few more sessions and now they are slow as hell. I have another set brand new in the box. Honestly don't even want to bother with em.
Got caught up in the hype on here when they were first getting going. Bought two sets of ceramics and a set of metallics for full price from their site like an idiot.
Maybe they are better now, but the 2 sets I've skated are not it.
i have the atoms, same kinda thing. (slowing).
but.
i took the shields off, i do not recommend that with bearings in general. i tried to clean them and re-lube using speed cream. sucked. re-cleaned them, no lube. the old hand spin test and they smoooooke all of my other swiss. under load, meaning my fat ass on the board, they aren’t as fast, but decent.
the dude will probably chime in here, with some advice.
i think cleaning em might help you.
i suck at cleaning bearings. i didn’t think mine should have needed to be cleaned, so early.
if i had to guess, the lube they used was great, for a short time.
the bearing g’s on here have some good recommendations for oil, and quantum bearing corp. may be more sensitive. wink.
