Question:

can i put the skateboard wheels with the bearings inside and then put it in the freezer?

i heard people said it makes it stronger. but i dont know if they meant only to put the wheels inside to make the wheels stronger. because i dont want to break my bearings.thankz.

Answer:

No. It doesn't do anything to help the wheels. If you insist on trying, take the bearings out. If for some reason you insist on keeping those in there too, make sure you haven't clean them recently or have put lubricant or speed cream in there because it will freeze the bearings and probably create more water than you want in there. I don't recommend it at all, all it will do is make your wheels colder. Also I'm not being mean on the if you insists, just you wont know for yourself if you don't try so if you're like me and need to try something even though it probably wont work, I say that. Again though please don't, because this is one of these things I've tried =P
Well i find putting any skate part in the freezer doesnt work i shred thro wheels in like 2 months. But if you want to try dont put bearings in the freezer also. Goooooood wheels - ricta's last forever and if you want to make your bearing work well i even use cleaner for bike chains in my bearings that works amazingly well
yeah i put my wheels in the freezer every time i get a new pair, i would recomend putting the bearings in but when i freeze my wheels i freeze them in a solid block of ice for a month. i dont know if it works but ill take any advantage i can get
