| yeah so me being a skateboarder of 22 years - i can shure tell you the fastest way to blow out some bearings is to ride them dirty and with no oil in them for endless amounts of time. so have you guys tried to use oil on the bearing wheels yet ? what kind ? when i used to slot car race - they had pin point pen oilers. verry percision aplication. not shure if that oil is what we want. any one tried to use speed cream for skateboard bearings ? no.. thats probly still to thick. what oil have you tried - how did it work - where did you get it from - and how did you apply it. thanks in advance ! i was thinking something like this http://www.amazon.com/Refillable-Needle-Precision-Pin-point-Ew2132a/dp/B004WWYRL0 |

| I've thought of it before, but never actually done it. Bearings only get fucked outside really, and often not even when used outside. But I guess it'd help |

| I use Degryp Oil for skateboard as well as fingerboard for my wheels.
Haven't found better. |

| In all my time fingerboarding, I've never had to oil my bearing wheels. I have a set from 2005 that are still going strong. |

| They just don't get as dirty as skateboard bearings would get. They don't go through as much. |

| I have been skating since I was about nine and always used speedcream when it came out,but for fingerboard wheels I only use Tri-flow superior lubricant. It comes in a 2.5 ounce bottle which will last forever and has a small needle like straw that you can attach to it, it is literally the best shit ever, I get mine at the local sk8 shop here in town and its about 2.00 usd, its made by the Sherwin-Williams group and is also MADE IN USA, which I like, since most everything is from China here in America now,but yeah it works great...  |
