99,95 €Understanding Inline Skate Bearings
Skate bearings are small cylindrical components positioned between the axle and the wheel's core. Each inline skate wheel contains two bearings with a spacer in the middle. Constructed with a larger outer ring and a smaller inner ring, small steel balls reside between these rings. These facilitate the unimpeded movement of the wheels on the skate. Protective covers known as "shields" help prevent rapid wear of the bearings, thus enhancing their longevity.
Selecting New Inline Skate Bearings
Each type of inline skate requires two bearings per wheel. Standard wheels accommodate inliner bearings, so size concerns are unnecessary. The quality of bearings is influenced by various factors including materials, precision (ABEC), lubrication, and whether they are sealed or open (with or without a shield).
If your skating primarily takes place outdoors, sealed bearings lubricated with grease are recommended. Indoor skaters can opt for open bearings that spin rapidly and are simple to clean. Those focused on speed and long-distance skating might favour high precision bearings lubricated with oil. Although they offer fast spinning and ease of cleaning, they are more susceptible to dirt damage.
When Should Inline Skate Bearings Be Replaced?
Typically, inline skate bearings have a lifespan of twelve to eighteen months. The material, quality, and proper maintenance of your equipment significantly influence the longevity of inline skate bearings. Generally, if your wheels produce noise despite cleaning, or if the bearings appear rusted, replacement is necessary. It's essential for skate bearings to remain silent and spin smoothly.
