Hey guys,
I bought a longboard last summer, and I want to replace the bearing with some smoother ones.
I'd also consider getting some harder wheels.
What are some recomendations? |

| I would recommend Abec-11 "Strikers" or "No schools" with Abec-11 "Bilten" bearings. Go with a harder duro (at least 81a or higher). The Bilten bearings have the spacers built into them and they would hold up much better if you do a lot of sliding. |

| Rockn Ron's, Biltins, or Mini-Logo's if you're on a budget. The NiNjA's are very good, too. |

| I've been riding Retro Berts on my homemade 36" tank, with generic abec 5's , 81A, really smooth and a little faster than some of the 78A's that most longboarders use...check them out |
