If you want, you can fill the space between them with a <em>spacer<\/em>.  This small metal cylinder prevents the bearings from being forced into the centre of the wheels when tightening the axle nut and getting damaged. Furthermore, spacers ensure that your bearings remain parallel with each other. Spacers are particularly prudent if you have soft wheels or so-called \u201cnon-core wheels\u201d.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p align=\"justify\">\r\n    The bearings you\u2019ll find in the skatedeluxe Skate Shop fit in every standard wheel and work with every standard axle.

Skateboard Bearings: Composition &#038; Parts<\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p align=\"justify\">\r\n    Bearings are comprised of a large outer ring and a smaller inner ring. Between these rings are small steel balls. These are what enable the wheels to turn. On either side of the rings are covers, called <em>shields<\/em>, which prevent the bearings from getting dirty. In order to keep the balls in position, they are contained inside of a so-called \u201cball cage.\u201d   \r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"e-content columns\">\r\n            <div class=\"e-content small-12 medium-6 medium-offset-2 columns left\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/skateboard-bearing-composition-front.svg\" alt=\"Skateboard Bearings - Parts and Composition\" title=\"Skateboard Bearings - Parts &#038; Composition\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"e-content small-12 medium-4 columns left\">\r\n            <em>\r\n                        <br><br>\r\n            1.

If you do skate with open or semi-open bearings, they will indeed be more susceptible to contamination, but they will be somewhat faster. Many skaters enjoy the slightly louder sound of a skateboard with open bearings.    \r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"e-content columns\">\r\n            <div class=\"e-content small-12 medium-6 medium-offset-2 columns left\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/skateboard-bearings-parts-explosion.svg\" alt=\"Skateboard Bearings Parts\" title=\"Skateboard Bearings Parts\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"e-content small-12 medium-4 columns left\">\r\n            <em>\r\n                        <br><br>\r\n            1.

Fact or Myth? ABEC Rating as an indicator for high quality skateboard bearings?<\/h2>\r\n    \r\n\r\n    <p align=\"center\">\r\n    <em>\r\n    \u201eDude, my ABEC 3 bearings are so lousy! It\u2019d be so sick if I had ABEC 7s!\u201c  \r\n    <\/em>\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p align=\"justify\">\r\n    The urban legend is that the higher the ABEC rating, the better and faster the bearings. But as is the case with most myths and legends, this one is for the most part nonsense.  \r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p align=\"justify\">\r\n    The acronym ABEC stands for \u201cAnnular Bearing Engineers Committee,\u201d and is a standard for how fine the rolling elements are. The higher the ABEC rating, the lower the tolerance for error in the manufacturing process. The rating does provide reliable information on the quality of the bearings. However, because the RPMs achieved when skating are so comparatively low, the rating is all but irrelevant. The full potential of a high ABEC rating would unfortunately never be reached because of the relatively low speeds achieved in classic skating.  \r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p align=\"justify\">\r\n    <strong>To put it into more specific terms:<\/strong>\r\n    <\/p>\r\n        \r\n    <p align=\"justify\">\r\n    ABEC 7 or 9 bearings can reach 20,000-30,000 rpm at their full potential. For a 54mm wheel, this would correspond to a speed of over 200 km\/h. For this reason, some manufacturers now renounce ABEC rating although it can still give a rough first impression of the quality of the bearings. As far as the relevance for skating and speed goes, the ABEC rating says quite little because skateboarding impacts bearings very differently than the traditional industrial uses. \r\n    <\/p>\r\n        \r\n    <p align=\"justify\">\r\n    For this very reason, we have \u201cSkate Tested Bearings\u201d or \u201cSkate Rated Bearings.\u201d These are usually more resistant and have been specifically developed to meet the demands of skateboarding; for instance, the impact on the bearings when landing tricks, or the lateral forces when turning.  \r\n    <\/p>\r\n        \r\n    <p align=\"justify\">\r\n    There are, of course, always new and exciting developments in the realm of bearings. There are now skateboard bearings with parts made out of titanium or extra-hard balls made of tempered ceramic. These special technologies offer a longer lifespan and are naturally also more expensive. \r\n    <\/p>\r\n            \r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"bearings-assembly-removal\" class=\"post clearfix padding-bottom\">\r\n    <div class=\"hide-for-small large-2 columns\">\r\n        <div class=\"date-day\">4<\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"date-month\">Skateboard Bearings: Assembly &#038; Removal<\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"large-10 columns\">\r\n    <h2 class=\"margin-bottom\">4.

The balls of the bearings should point upwards, the cages should point downwards.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n            <\/li>\r\n            <li>\r\n                <strong>\r\n                    Add cleaning fluid &#038; shake\r\n                <\/strong>\r\n                <p>\r\n                    Fill the container with cleaning fluid (the container doesn&#8217;t need to be full) and close it. Then shake for a few seconds. Allow the liquid to work for a bit.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n            <\/li>\r\n            <li>\r\n                <strong>\r\n                    Dry the bearings\r\n                <\/strong>\r\n                <p>\r\n                    Remove the bearings from the container and let them dry on a suitable surface. You can also carefully tap the liquid from the bearings.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n            <\/li>\r\n            <li>\r\n                <strong>\r\n                    Lubricate the bearings\r\n                <\/strong>\r\n                <p>\r\n                    When the bearings are completely dry, apply one to two drops of bearing oil per bearing. Hold the inner ring with thumb and index finger and turn the outer ring a little to distribute the oil.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n            <\/li>\r\n            <li>\r\n                <strong>\r\n                    Reapply shields\r\n                <\/strong>\r\n                <p>\r\n                    Finally, press the shields back onto the bearings and check for a straight fit. The bearings can now be mounted again.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n            <\/li>\r\n        <\/ol>\r\n\r\n        <div id=\"metaslider-id-139112\" style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-98-0 ml-slider-pro-2-6-6 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-139112 ml-slider ms-theme-_theme_1470922456 nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"Kugellagerpflege EN\" data-width=\"999\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_139112\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_139112\" class=\"flexslider\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: none;
