Are you frequently finding yourself clearing out bearings beneath the rubber shields? Why not try an open design bearing that you can clean as needed?
If you are contemplating the open bearing variety, then Bronson Speed Co. provides the solution with their technologically advanced Raw skateboard bearings.
The outcome of extensive testing and cutting-edge technical specifications
"Free at last!" - A shieldless design simplifies maintenance considerably
"Fast, Slick & Non-stick" - The races feature a Tungsten coating that acts as a dry lubricant, maintaining its presence for an extended duration and offering you minimal drag and enhanced longevity
"The Sound of Speed" - Raw bearings lack shields and are therefore fairly loud, which is a preference for many skaters
"Maximum Impact" - The cage is constructed to resist high wear and tear and to endure impacts from landing tricks
"Rollin' Deep" - Deep Groove Raceways ensure the balls sit deeper in the raceway channels, significantly diminishing axial and angular impact damage
"Shred Ready" - Every bearing undergoes hand inspection, is micro-polished, and ultrasonically cleaned three times before being packaged

"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
