I will clean them every once in a while, but if i go boarding on a day where the road is wet, is it essential to dry the bearings when I am done?I have bones swiss bearings.
37 seconds after cleaning and re-lubing. Haven't been broken in yet. Make sure the shields are not dented. they should be flush with the outer race of the bearing. Test: setup Bones Swiss bearings Trucks: Indy Wheels Santa Cruz OG Road riders 75mm 79a I prefer Pig Swiss over Bones, had some that were cleaned and ready for a spare set.
ANY bearing will rust of they get wet but this is constantly getting wet so don't fear
Yes. You should dry off your bearings after a riding in the rain. You were better off buying 4 or 5 sets of Magic or MileHighSkate bearings for the same price. You can use certain types of lube to make your bearings pretty waterproof, mainly greases. Try using White Lithium Grease, Ballistol, Tri-Flow, Phil's Waterproof Grease, or 3 in 1 Lube. Do not use WD-40
