they keep the dirt out, period. get these if your sick of cleaning your bearings alot. i clean my ceramics at least every 2 weeks. there i can go over a month (this with skating 6 days a week in the super clean city of philadelphia). oh yea, its fun cleaning 16 shields opposed to 8 when you do clean them lol. and the shields take the longest (make sure u get the out and inside edges good)
get them, they will last you a long time
Want something that outlasts you? go bones.
If you have the money and like to clean and lube every few months, buy them. If you don't, get Reds and go just as fast. Seriously, you could get 3 or 4 sets of new reds for the same price.
Very expensive but they are very fast and make no noise at all! They arent fast at first but ride them for a couple of days till they break in then they will be super sick and quick...they dont get as dirty and i would recommend these over any other bone bearings...except ceramics.. Overall they are worth the price
HELL YA! great investment, mine have worked for a year plus now. just keep em clean.
i would only recommend these for the average flat ground cruiser.
