RACE

If you're a downhill long boarder, a high impact skater, or you change wheels at the park. These are really good for any of those situations. The built in spacers are MUCH more heavy duty and precise than any third party spacer you'll ever get. But the best thing about them is not having to deal with all the fiddly bits if you change your wheels out very often.As far as rolling goes, I'd say they're comparable to just about every other bearing in their price range, only they have a slightly more viscous grease, rather than a "speed cream", or race oil. Which is really fine for 99% of situations, and really good for any high speeds. Haven't tried clearing the grease, and putting a light oil to them, but I imagine they'd essentially be Bones Reds at that point, in so far as quality of spin, honestly, I really like them as they are, even for just pushing around the park, they have a solid, less squirrelly feel, and a quiet operation.The only bad thing about them is removing them from some wheels, since there's no way to hook the back of the bearing to pry it out. So if you have one of those wheels that REALLY grabs the bearings, they can be tougher to pull out.

Fire is right! Quick, silent, and feel real.

Bearings are built to spec, although it did take a while longer to break-in compared to other bearings due to the lubricant used - 3 hours in and around the 11th mile it was like the bearings finally broke in and got into its groove with smooth coasting through the rest of the day. Prior to that it was pretty much taking an extra push or and extra carve here and there to get the feeling right. Shields work as intended and the shield design really did make all the difference as i punched through puddles, dirt, gravel, mud, debris, someones hat, you name it, and whatever else was on the city streets. Got back and did a quick wipe down with a interior check and its good to roll the next day.EDIT: had to recently clear out the obliterated lubricant from the bearings, winter skating has always been the bane of any bearing and these were sadly not an exception. The lubricant gunked up and froze when subjected to below freezing temperatures, and the salt/snow/ice/brine mixture did little to help them out. It's since been cleaned and relubed but the bearings just don't roll the same when abused by abominable weather conditions.

These bearings are VERY WELL worth the money. With one swift, stationary-suspended pull on the wheel, I clocked it at 5.5 minutes of spinning. I paired these Fireball bearings, with their spacer/washers, along with Heady Shake’s bearing oil and are mounted on Cloudwheel’s Discovery 120mm all-terrain wheels. The proficiency they provide for my Revel-electric longboard is uncanny! Rocking these bearings I’ve found that my battery lasts longer, I get better speed, a smoother ride, and an overall more enjoyable experience. I highly recommend not wasting your money on cheaper ones — go ahead and invest in these quality bearings. You’ll thank me later!-Lars

Very good bearings. I started using these type of bearings about a year ago and now I have them for almost all my boards. The built-in ones are really nice. I recommend them to anybody and the prices are right. And if you care if to try some of their other ones I recommend those too.

I bought the Ceramic set x2 to fit into my quad skates. I previously bought a set of "Two-Lions" ceramic. the first 16 were great that i bought a 2nd set, but those ended up being trash - i kept having to clean them once every two weeks, and a few bearings were bad from the getgo.decided to just buy a different brand. I was ultimately going to get Swiss ceramics, but decided to try out these dragon bearings before forking out the heavy $$$ for Swiss.I'm glad i did! so far 2 weeks in, it's been handling just fine. These ceramics definitely have tighter tolerances than your cheap-noname-ceramics. And it came lubed! i cracked one open to inspect and defintely there's some oil and these were black ceramic balls.After breaking them in after a few hours, they run real real smooth - much smoother than the two-lions... and feel like gliding on glass.I went with ceramics cuz i like to roll around the rink without heavy pushes. After getting some speed, i'm able to roll around the rink without further pushes like maybe 2 time - love it!Hoping these will hold up the test of time.Will update as these get more use.

I purchased a lot of bearing over the past 40 years I was unable to get the bearing i usually purchase it seems supply is very low so i tried these for the first time. I cant give my opinion on durability yet however,out of the box they all worked perfectly, rolled very smooth and although they are not the fastest bearings they are very close. more importantly they are smooth none of the bearings I installed stuck or grind and i tend to torture bearings a bit based on how i roll. so far week one they are holding up very well, if i can get through the month with no failures i may just change over to these bearings they seem to hold up a little better to the stress i put them under and still roll tight and smooth. overall a great bearing i like them. thank you for offering a solid product.

Great product.
