Got a couple questions. I got the heron flight deck 9.13 and Powell grip but need new bearings potentially and trucks.
Right now I’m thinking of getting the 8.75 mini logos in and I have bone Swiss ceramic bearings, but the shields are trash on a few of them and sometimes they freeze but sometimes it goes through and spins normally, but nothing like “wow this is 200 dollar spinning”. So my options for that are either rebuilding the bearings for 40 according to skate one, or getting the raw Bronson bearings.
Anyone with tips on setup I would appreciate it, especially if you have the deck

Is there anyway to identify which Swiss bearing I have? Or are all the bearings pretty much identical? I’m not sure which one I have other than it saying Swiss on the shields
I guess it cleaned it so well that ceramics is actually etched in the bearing so it’s a bone Swiss ceramic to my surprise
After letting the bearings dry for several minutes, start lubricating them. First, put one or two drops of your favorite lubricant onto a bearing and make sure that they are applied evenly.
