Flash Lightening is combination of flashy design combined with super fast and tough performance. ABEC ratings are an industry standard with the higher the number the more speed it gives skaters. Better Bearings choose highly rated bearings for the level of attention and quality that is received during the design and manufacturing.BREAKING BAD: Better Bearings are pre-spun during the quality testing phase at the factory, however (like all bearings), they're not going to spin fast and free right out of the packaging, because they're packed pre-lubed to protect them while waiting for you to give them a new home.SPACERS AND SIDELOADING: Sideloading is when all the pressure is put on one side of the bearings, which slightly changes where the ball bearings and the race surface touch and the axis of the bearing. Better Bearings only use the hardest wearing materials in order to deal with this issue. Using spacers can help the structural integrity of the setup, however, there were no issues in testing them without spacers.TWICE INSPECTED & STAKER TESTED: Better Bearings are inspected twice. Once before the bearings leave the factory and once the package are handed over. Pro Skaters were asked to the test the bearings, by skating them and treating them like riders usually do. The test team comes from all over Australia. They train on nice floors, dirty floors and outdoors. They went to the skate park, rolled through beer and glitter and played a lot.ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY PRODUCTION: The bearing packaging and tough nuts box is made from 100% recycled paper and is biodegradable and the cleaning products are environmentally safe.
