I soaked them in alchohol overnight and then dried them out for 30 minutes and i blew on them and stuff. then i applied 3 drops of lubricant to each bearing with bones speed cream. i also removed the bearing spacers. they seem slower, maybe by 20 seconds when i spin them. i havent skated them yet since i cleaned them. possibly i should put back the spacers? i have bones spf wheels with bones super swiss 6 bearings.
It might seem that way but the bearings are gonna be fast.. You should ride the board to test the bearings .. Spining them helps a little but when you ride them your weight is on they will give you a better feel of how they perform.. They probably faster than what you think .. yeah just go ahead put the spacers back.. It will protect the bearings trucks.. Do to the friction they might share here there.. You have like the best wheels bearings outhere.. Bones is the best when it comes down to wheels bearings.. Lucky dude.
yes when you clean out your bearings they slow down a bit at first, they shouldn't take long to break in once you start skating, although it might seem like your going slower because your bearings will be silent compared to before
