Best608 skateboard bearings

I just removed one seal on each bearing because the seals seem to cause quite a friction. With only one seal and after some months of use, the friction is minimal.

These are sealed really, really good. I’m experimenting with them over a year now. Only one of 12 died so far. And I think it’s because I was using thick oil instead of grease. I skate quite often - almost every day during the season when weather allows, sometimes even in slight rain. I jump a lot, I give them quite a hard time.

I wanted to share my experience with these bearings. Instead of ordering bearings from some rollerskate / skate products company, I was looking for something that is really sealed to avoid cleaning after like every other ride.
