How much better than Bronson G3s are bones swiss really? They cost twice as much...It hurts but I really want to try them and it would be such a stupid waste of money if they're pretty much the same
If a set of Reds or G3 cost $25 and last for six months, while the Bones cost $50 and last for multiple years (while performing better), did you actually save any money buying the cheaper bearings?
I'd advise you to grab some from Skate Warehouse for 30% off, but it looks like they've totally sold out of Swiss bearings.
just to chime in my take: i prefer swiss, but i don’t notice some big difference in the results of my skating. the swiss are faster.
for me, it’s mainly a longevity thing. i’ve had swiss, and swiss 6, last years upon years.
the highly un-scientific hand spin test has one of my setups with mini logos beating swiss, and quantum’s right now. (before anyone gets excited i have the quantum’s really dry, and haven’t purchased their lighter lubricant, and they are doing totally fine).
i’ve been sticking to mini logo or swiss and i like that for me.
i do want to try some of the skf bearings.
