Are you always having to clean bearings beneath the rubber shields? Why not opt for an open style bearing that can be cleaned as needed, without hassle?
If you’re thinking about open bearing types, Bronson Speed Co. offers highly engineered Raw skateboard bearings to meet your needs.
The outcome of extensive testing and advanced technical specifications
"Free at last!" - A shieldless design that makes maintenance effortless
"Fast, Slick & Non-stick" - Features Tungsten-coated races, serving as a dry lubricant that remains for extended periods, reducing drag and enhancing durability
"The Sound of Speed" - Being shieldless, Raw bearings are notably loud, a trait favoured by many skaters
"Maximum Impact" - The cage is crafted with high resistance to wear and tear, designed to absorb the impact from landing tricks
"Rollin' Deep" - Deep Groove Raceways allow the balls to sit deeper, significantly minimising axial and angular impact damage
"Shred Ready" - Each bearing is manually inspected, micro-polished, and ultrasonically cleaned three times before packaging

"While we understand your concern about bearings rusting after only a few sessions, it is important to note that rust formation can occur even without direct exposure to rain or water. Bearings are precision components made of metal, and are particularly vulnerable to moisture in the environment, including, for example, humid environments or temperature changes that cause condensation.
Because these types of problems arise from normal environmental exposure and natural wear of components over time, they are considered wear."
Now it turns out that bearings rust in a few days and that's totally normal. I've had dozens of bearings over the years and have never seen anything like this.
They have lost me as a customer.Reply from SkateProHi, thanks for your comment. We understand your frustration, but after reviewing the case and contacting you previously, we maintain that rust in bearings can occur with normal use and environmental conditions. We are sorry it was not the experience you were expecting and remain available for any future inquiries // The SkatePro Team 😊.Oliver SchugkWolfsburg, GermanyVerified Buyer5 of 5I finally wanted open bearings. However, I will only install them in my next setup, at the moment I'm still happy with my Bones ceramic bearings :-) Here at Skatepro the price for the Bronsons was really fair, so...Bas MiddelkoopZoetermeer, NetherlandsVerified Buyer5 of 5Top!Luciano Henrique SoaresBovisio-Masciago, ItalyVerified Buyer5 of 5perfectSzymon ZarzykaJastrzębie-Zdrój, PolandVerified Buyer2 of 5After the first trip to the skatepark, they had to be cleaned because the wheels did not turn at all. After cleaning they squeak.Reply from SkateProThank you for your feedback. Often the bearings may need a minor cleaning, especially if there is a lot of dust or dirt on the skatepark. If they still squeak after cleaning, you may want to try lubricating them. If the problem persists, feel free to contact us - we'll be happy to help you find a solution. / SkatePro TeamManfred D.Berlin, GermanyVerified Buyer5 of 5Fast and loud
