FAQs
What kind of cleaning solution should I use?
You can use specialized bearing cleaning solutions, isopropyl alcohol, or a mild degreaser. Always ensure the solution is compatible with bearing materials and rinse thoroughly afterward.
How often should I clean my bearings?
This depends on riding conditions. For skaters who ride in dirt, dust, or wet conditions, cleaning every fortnight is recommended. For cleaner environments, every 1-3 months may suffice.
Can I use this for longboard bearings?
This unit is designed for standard 608 skateboard bearings. Longboard bearings are typically the same size, so it should be compatible.
Does it come with cleaning fluid?
No, the cleaning fluid is not included. You will need to purchase a suitable cleaning solution separately.
How many bearings can I clean at once?
The unit has space for up to 8 bearings, allowing you to clean a full set of four bearings twice, or a set of eight if you manage spacing.
What are the included washers for?
The washers help to keep the bearings separated during the cleaning process, ensuring more effective agitation and cleaning of all surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Bearings still feel rough after cleaning
Ensure you used enough cleaning solution and agitated sufficiently. Check if the bearings are completely dry and re-lubricate if necessary. For heavily damaged bearings, replacement might be needed.
Unit lid is difficult to close
Check for any obstructions or debris around the seal. Ensure bearings and washers are seated correctly within the unit.
Cleaning solution spills during shaking
Make sure the lid is securely fastened before shaking. Do not overfill the unit with cleaning solution.
