I also think that the layout/position of this link is not the best. especially before you vote.

Kemar Moderator	Posted: 31.01.2012 22:43 Well, I guess I prefer ABEC 7.
thuglife Trusted user	Posted: 31.01.2012 22:18 I skate ABEC3. My experience is that ABEC1,2 are too slow and anything else comes apart very soon. Anyway, very nice poll Edited 31.01.2012 22:19
tangible	Posted: 31.01.2012 19:58 honestly ...i "bearing-ly" give a fuck lol , ok that was a dumb play on words , but yea i dont really care , mostly the main thing i care about when i buy bearings is the shields cuz if they're metal i might aswell pop em out right then & there otherwise its gonna be a hassle later taking them out while they're stuck and probably busting up the bearings while getting stuck , i ended buying these spitfire ones a while ago by accident with like a rubber shield and thought it was genius , so yea , my main thing , the shields and not for dumb "i like the way it sounds " purposes either.
sondor Trusted user	Posted: 31.01.2012 16:51 I accidentally a whole bearing
floyd Trusted user	Posted: 31.01.2012 15:45 abec is a precision rating (how round the balls are), doesnt say how strong the balls of the bearings are at all, the rating is more or less relevant in ventilators,machines etc... jump down a few stairs and most will be abec 0 regular swiss for me!
snezer Trusted user	Posted: 31.01.2012 14:35 Bones-reds. swiss are too expensive.

Skin_Flick Moderator	Posted: 31.01.2012 12:17 I ride swiss, those aren't abec rated but otherwise I would pick the 7's
wunnluhv Trusted user	Posted: 31.01.2012 11:51 I just ride blanks, I don't even know what abec they are though.

shuvit Moderator	Posted: 31.01.2012 10:28 Always Reds, which aren't rated by Abec. If no reds, then I'd rather skate abec 5 or 7 Edited 31.01.2012 10:31
Kudy Moderator	Posted: 31.01.2012 10:02 I dont care very much nowadays, but there used to be times when I picked bearings according to this scale. I preferred ABEC 5 because they were fast enough and most durable. ABEC 7 were faster but fell apart pretty quickly and ABEC 3 could have been thrown into fire without any harm, but they got slow really fast. So my vote went to 5s
