brand names may vary but THESE FIT ON ANY BEARINGS!
Non-contact Steel shields coated with rubber are used to protect your bearings. The shield stops grit from entering in while keeping lubricant in. Shields improve bearing longevity. Bearings come stock with one side shielded to make cleaning and lubricating fast and effective. You can also add a shield to the other side to help keep the grit out but remember to remove the shield on the ball side prior to oil and/or cleaning.
We suggest using one shield on the open ball side of each bearing. You may use a shield on both sides but this makes it more difficult to oil/service. However, two shields locks in the oil and keeps out debris more effectively.
- Sold in 8 packs (8 each)
- *Remember: skate boards have 4 wheels and 8 bearings (1 pack is sufficient if you want the shields only on the outside-2 packs needed to cover both sides of each bearing)
- rollerskates have 8 wheels and 16 bearings (and those bearings have 2 sides each so 2 packs are sufficient if you want the shields only on the outside-4 packs needed to cover both sides of each bearing)-1 pack is still ok if you only want them to show on the outside of all 8 wheels.
- Bearing shields work with ALL Bearings.
