And can u also tell me how to clean abec 9 bearings? and grease them?
ok first thing is first thing is first never clean your bearings with wd 40 it will eat the plastic part of your bearing. clean it in 70 to 80 % alcohol or higher. dip them in and wash thoroughly. Buy special lubricant for bearing which should only cost $5. put the lubricant in the bearing and that should be it. it's the same for every bearing just make sure that you clean them every 2 to 3 months because they get clogged with dirt and such
ABEC is not a type of bearing, but simply a rating system on the quality of the bearing. I clean and lubricate most bearings with WD-40. You only need to clean or lubricate a bearing if you've noticed a significant decrease in its performance.
The preferences are based on what works for you. For cleaning the bearings, I use lamp oil (desented kerosene) because it cleans out anything. I then wash it out with denatured alcohol which also dries the bearings. If you use a water based cleaner like citrus cleaners, do not soak them overnight since it can damage the bearings. Almost anything works for lubricants. Super light things like the sprays don't last very long. Some people spray them every time they go out. Oils roll quickly right away but are not as waterproof as greases or last very long. Greases are slower at the start but will last a lot longer. Use very little. A drop or two of oil or a few pin head sized blobs of grease.
