I use the bearings mostly for all kinds of skating I do. I love the roll of the bearings and after getting caught in the rain you don't have to worry about them rusting. You just dry them and if nescessary you can clean and oil (or grease) them again. They last longer then any other bearings I've had. Not everybody likes to have to oil or grease their bearings themselves so I guess this could b

I inline skate socially and have recently taken up Inline Speed Skating. The bearings are not lubricated; you get to do that and this is more a pro than a con to me. My only wish is that the rubber seals were either marked or different colors so it is easy to get to the open bearing side of the spacer. I eventually take care of that by marking the open-side seal with a permanent colored marker.
