what if you dont have bearing spacers?

[Octanesport]

@ActiveOps get some if you can. You can run wheels without them, but using spacers helps, particularly in turns.

i gotta ask you something are Skate boarding bearings and long board bearings different or are they the same and whats a good wheel to glid / drift / cruise

[Octanesport]

@TheForgottenViet Longbaords ARE Skateboards...! They take the same size 608 bearings, though a very few trucks have 10mm axles and use a different size inner holed bearings. Good wheesl? Checkout Cult, Abec11, Seismic, and many others....

[Octanesport]

We always recommend using spacers if you have them.

[Octanesport]

Abec rating are just an industrial scale of manufacturing parameters. Does not relate to 'size'. What is important is the size of your bearing and almost all skate bearings are '608' size. If the 7s you are getting are skate bearings you will have no problems fitting into any skate wheel.

@Laxboi111 I thought the same thing. I was like "I dont have a spacer! NO!!!!" But it works without it if you don't have it.
