Question:

Do longboards and skateboards use same type of bearings?

I have a sector 9 Cosmic 2 board and one of the bearings messed up. i need to buy spare bearings. i can't find longboard bearings while skateboard bearings r easy to find. r they the same? and whats a good place to buy beartings

Answer:

yes they use the same type of bearings and you can find them from your local skate shop or you can try fixing the broken bearing by cleaning it. what i do i put wd-40 and let it run through so all the dirt comes out and they once all the dirt is out you spin the bearing until the wd-40 drys out and then you put speed cream in it. but if you buy new bearings get bones reds.
no they are not the same the bearings for longboards are different than those of the skateboards. you can try to find the bearings in a skateshop or in the internet.
the guy above me is talking crap, they have the same kind of bearings, on my friend's longboard he uses bones swiss, that is what i would suggest, you can find them at a skateshop or on the internet.
