Biltin Bearings are the first precision bearing designed for skateboarding by World Champion Skateboarder, Chris Chaput. They make your life faster and easier by integrating washers and spacers into every bearing. There is no frustration caused by dropping the washer or spacer in the dirt, searching for it; then once found, trying to get it perfectly clean so grit doesn't get into the assembly. Your locknuts can be tightened snuggly without pinching or binding the bearings. They align themselves perfectly on the axle and in the wheel. As a result, your wheels spin faster and longer and with less vibration and friction. There is no rattle from misaligned bearings. Biltin's unique design helps to share the sideloads more evenly for longer wheel and bearing life. Biltins make wheel swapping a breeze and are easier to clean
They are a great idea. They can really take a beating. THe downside is, they're slow. Not nearly as fast as bones swiss, which i still believe are the best bearings to get.
(Wed Nov 12, 2008)I'm sold on these bearings. I absolutely abuse my board. I ride it through all sorts of water, dust, muddy conditions, you name it. I commute it multiple miles a day through rain or shine. For the first time since I got them I went to clean them today. I was spinning the wheels on my axles and one of them was kind of stopping. I went to go and clean them and only 3 out of the 8 needed to be cleaned. One of them was completely locked up and the rest just needed lube. I cleaned them up and lubed them up and they're just as good as new.
The ease of use makes it so I probably won't use any other bearings ever again.
theyre not that expensive compared to Swiss
(Wed Aug 20, 2008)really good bearings but expensive
(Sun Aug 10, 2008)On DH, you really don't want or need faster, for sliding, there is none better, and for cruising, they are smooth and reliable.
