Are ABEC 3 bearings quicker than ABEC 9?

For scooters are abec 9 bearings faster than abec7 bearings?
yes
Are abec 13 scooter bearings real?
Some people may not think that Abec 13 bearings are real but they really are, you probably don't know 'cause they have only recently been brought out. And for the people that don't know this, all Abec bearings are ranked with numbers so 1 is worst 2 is better than 1 and so on. Another fact is that the only Abec waterproof bearings are 7 or 5 I'm not that sure!

Are Abec 7 speed bearings good?
I've never had a good set of abec 3's. They are fast for about a day and they're shot. I would highly recommend blowing the money on some Bones Swiss. They last around 5 times longer than the best abec 3's. Just stay away from water, mud, thick dirt, or anything that may gunk up your bearings.
What is the Best bearings for outdoor roller hockey?
I would say probably any ABEC 3 rated STEEL (not ceramic) bearing with a removable shield for routine servicing (cleaning and lubricating). From what I've read, steel bearings made in America have tested better as a group than German, Swiss, or especially Chinese bearings, but of course there will always be exceptions to this. Abec 3's can take more dirt before you slow them down. A higher ABEC-rated bearing with lower tolerances will get gunked up because there is less space in the bearing. An ABEC 3 that gets a little dirty can stay near optimum and will outroll a gunked ABEC 5, 7, or 9. From what I understand, the quality of polish on the steel, the depth of the raceway, and the ability for the bearings to move to lateral weight transfer are far more important than ABEC rating anyway. It is really hard to find these types of specifications, however, so unfortunately, finding a bearing you love is just trial and error. It is also important to note that it is not true that if you pay more, the bearing will perform better. My advice is to look for a serviceable ABEC 3 steel bearing that is manufactured in America and doesn't cost more that $25 for a set of 16. If you don't like it, buy a different ABEC 3 manufactured in America. You would be terribly unlucky if one of them wasn't a very nice set of bearings.
What are the top ten best skateboard bearings?
I don't doubt the quality of bones but as for abec9, abec7 etc, most of them are not abec9, abec7... Abec 9 bearings are used in critical aerospace and instrument applications. There are not many bearing manufacturers in the world that can make Abec 9 as most do not have the equipment and yet you see Abec 9 bearings readily available in skate shops at low prices. A real Abec 9 bearing would cost 30 to 40 US Dollars or more. I leave you to decide!! Have a look at http://www.smbbearings.com/Framesets/Skate_Frame.htm for useful info about skate bearings. #1 bones Swiss #2 bones reds #3 speed demon #4 blind #5 abec 9 #6 abec 7 #7 abec 5 #8 abec 3 #9 abec 1 #10 jc (walmart sold skateboards) *bones ceramics are much faster than bones Swiss but they can shatter*
Are bearings for a skateboard different from the 1950's?
Bearings are very different from the 50's version. Those bearings came off rollerskates. Now you would use a different bearing for street riding than you would for racing. The bearings are rated by a system called ABEC ratings: 1,3,5,7 & 9. It was originally developed to rate the bearings in machines, not on skateboards. The ABEC rating rates the precision of a bearing. Most skateboarders use a 3, 5 or 7 ABEC. Most are metal but some riders prefer ceramic bearings. Your local shop will have most of the information you need. This is a good site to find information about bearings: http://www.skateboardballbearings.com Heidi www.SPAUSA.org
What are the best bearings for your skateboard?
It is the a part that gosse in the hole of the wheel and makes it spin longer and faster there are diffrent types of bearings and abec is a raiting used and also abec 3 bearings can be faster than abec 5s it really doesnt make a difference its mainly its durrability
Can you put abec 11 wheels on a Stella longboard?
Absolutely.. ABEC # is no more than an industrial grading system fot heat and load tolerances and really means nothing in skateboarding.. So many people think the higher the # the better the bearings.. not necessarily true. You'd be looking at highway speeds with a 300+lb load on the wheels to actually have an ABEC rating really matter.. For a longboard.. you can use whatever is handy. He is referring to Abec11 the wheel company, there is not an abec 11 rated bearing. Abec 11 make wheels of all sizes some of which would be great on the Stella l0ongboard, without more information I cannot suggest a size and wheel from Abec11
Are bones Swiss skateboard bearings better than bones reds bearings?
definitley worth the extra coinige
Can you get an alignment with bad bearings?
Yes, BUT the result would be no better than beforethe alignment because the play in the bad bearings would prevent an accurate alignment.
