There are no particular standard rating guidelines for skateboard bearings. The most familiar types of bearings are wheel bearings. By distinct comparison, professional skateboarders estimate the precision of the bearings and know that the good ones fall under 3 or 5, using the ABEC system of rating bearings used in machines. These bearings can give you an even ride but at the same time, they are strong enough to bear the force when you jump on your board. But not all manufacturers consider the ABEC when producing skateboard bearings. You wouldnt really know their performance until you try them out yourself. At the store, you may ask for help in replacing the bearings on your skateboard. However the method is quite simple. There should be no trouble if you do it yourself. You will require a skate key.
