Are Bevo Abec 9 and Mission 5 Bearing the same size?

Question

Bevo Abec 9 Micro-bearings and Mission 5 Bearing. Are they differant in size?

Answer 1

same size but different fittings

Answer 2

You are listing brands.  Are Goodyear tires the same size as Firestone?

There are two common sizes for skate bearings.  You can use either size in any skate as long as you have wheels and spacers designed for the same size.

The most common is 608, which is used in the vast majority of recreational, fitness, agressive, and some hockey skates.  Places that sell them frequently don't list a size because almost everyone uses them.  They are about 7/8" in diameter.

Some hockey wheels are designed for 688 bearings which are much smaller (about 5/8" diameter).

If you look at the pictures on these links, you will notice that the 688 bearing has a much shorter side profile than the 608
