Super Reds have always been my go to bearing, but when they bit the dust I threw on some mini logo bearings and I can't tell a difference. What do you guys think? What is your go to bearing?
I have a facility to stay dry in at home now during the rainy season but even back in the day we managed to skate year around without actually skating in the rain so I never had a problem with my setup getting shot out. Just cleaned and lined em every so often to keep em rolling as they should.
I like the Bones Swiss. There's a point where, after you've bought a new set and have been skating them for a while, you really feel the speed and longevity of a single push the moment you've broken them in.
Yeah, dude. I love my Swiss Ceramics! They're expensive but totally worth the price. My favorites will always be the regular Swiss, though. Super 6 with ceramics would be rad, too!
I have skated bones reds and mini logo at the same time, and for me the mini logos seem to slow down quicker than the reds.
Do you super reds dudes think they are pretty superior over the regular reds? I know they're not a huge price difference, but wondering if they're worth it. I don't skate a ton, so they may not be worth it for me, and regular reds have always done just fine. But I'm always interested in finding ways to spend even more money that I don't have.
I have Reds, Mini Logo and Super 6s from SkateOne, and Autobahn 5s, Independent 7s, Zealous, Churchill 7s and some VXBs.
Super 6s are maybe hair faster than the others new, but they don't bag out. Great seals and lube make them the no-maintainence kings.
Zealous also seem to have really good seals, but take a bit longer to break in. They are only $14 though, making them a great deal.
Reds, Autobahn, Indys and Churchills all seemed to give similar performance. I don't think the Churchills are available anymore and Autobahn are the cheapest of this level.
Mini Logos didn't last all that well for me. Could be just bad luck.
VXBs crapped out the quickest, which isn't a surprise - they are $5.
I am considering some Bronson G3s for the next go-around.
@BackInAction - I'm trying G3's now on a Welcome Miller that I put together. Nothing to report yet; they seem well enough.
@mallgrabber - I can't really tell the difference between Reds and Super Reds. Super Reds are supposed to be on par with Swiss, but I don't know about that.

I use the Super Reds, and never an issue, but I haven't skated much lately.
