Olympia Supply Gold Grade Bearings
Skaters searching for Olympia Supply's skateboard bearings are looking to keep their wheels spinning fast and smooth, and the Gold Grade Bearings are Olympia Supply's bearing set built for that job. Bearings are one of the most important parts of a skateboard for how a ride actually feels, since they determine how freely the wheels spin.
What Bearings Do
- Skateboard bearings fit inside the wheel and allow it to spin around the axle
- Bearing quality affects roll speed, how long a push lasts, and how smooth the ride feels
Who Needs Them
Any skater assembling a new setup needs a set of bearings for each wheel, and riders whose current bearings are grinding, seized, or slowed down by dirt and salt air need a fresh set. Riding around South Florida's parks and streets exposes bearings to sand, humidity, and moisture that can work their way in and slow a wheel down over time.
Installing and Maintaining Bearings
Bearings press into the wheel and slide onto the truck axle, held in place by the axle nut. Keeping sand and grit out of your wheels and periodically checking that bearings spin freely helps them last longer, and a bearing that feels gritty or sluggish is usually due for cleaning or replacement.
