These are probably the cheapest Ceramic bearings on the market, plus they come with bearings spacers and washers to get everything set up.

These ceramics are made of zirconium oxide, cheaper than silicon nitride ceramic as used in bones ceramics, but still very strong and can take a beating. These will never rust, and since ceramic is harder than metal, debris will get crushed or moved out of the way instead of damaging the ball. These properties make these bearings very resilient to water and dirt.

Yes, these bearings dont spin as fast as bones ceramics when you spin the wheel. but i do not believe that spinning the wheel without any load will have any real world results. but hey, that comes from a a person who uses Royal purple Ultra high performance bearing grease meant for cars on his skateboard bearings. Yes, that method makes the wheel spin slow when you spin it with your hand, but riding it, you cannot feel any difference, and automotive grease coats and protects balls and races way better than the less vicious "speed cream".

The rest is pretty much standard fair, removable shield, races honed multiple times, and nylon cages.

these bearings will last you a pretty good amount of months, probably even years if you take good care of them

Over all these are really good bearings for the money. I have had these for 3 days now and there just starting to break in, and they will already spin for around 45 seconds which is way better than my old sure grip abec 5s, so i would highly recommend these bearings for someone who wants a ceramic bearing but doesnt have the money for some bones swiss ceramics.

I ordered this item on 6th June 2011 and have paid for it. I later received a note stating that I could not track the item as it was not being sent direct from Amazon. Today is 11th July 2011 and I still haven't received said item. There does not appear to be any number to try and track it. Beware of these third party products that Amazon appear to take no responsibility for.
