Question:

how tight should skateboard bearings be?

^ also how should they sound when they roll and what should i use to lubricate my bones red bearings

Answer:

You will want to make sure that your bearings are placed correct in your wheels and when you tighten the bolts down do not tighten too much. you wil actually want a tiny bit of slack in between your nuts and bearings as funny as that sounds. this will allow your wheels to roll more freely. If bearings are new the should sound fairly smooth but they take a while to break in. New Bone Reds are fast enough to where you wont need any lubricant but if you really must dont use any crap like wd40. actually get something worth your while
no lube umm you cant tightin them? and the sound varys
