bearings

[raygunpk 0]

I just got a pair of Mission BSX blades. The mission catalogue says it has ABEC 7 bearings, but when I pulled it to check it said Mission 5. I assumed this means it is ABEC 5 bearings.

I was switching it up with some cheap ABEC 7's I had, when a friend told me that cheap ABEC 7's are worst than good quality 5's.

What do you guys think?

quality bearings are ALWAYS better than cheaper higher rated bearings

How can I tell it is better though? Is there some way to test them?

i have the swiss ceramic bearings and they blow any bearing away out there. they roll free and keep going longer than regular bearing because there is no drag. two things though u need to clean them alot and they are twice as much as regular bearings.

got some titanium 688 bearings... spins freely for a long time, and no maintenance needed.
