Skate board bearings?

Question

wats the difference between abec 7 and abec 3 bearings?

Answer 1

abec 7 you ride alot faster and smoother abec 3 is almost the same as abec 5 there kind of slower and there not as smooth.

Answer 2

7=FAST! 3=SLOW :(

Answer 3

the other answers are correct but the best is to get bone reds they dont have a specific abec but they are amazing!

Answer 4

abec 7 is a smoother ride with better caps to protect ur bearings and makes it go faster....however abec 5s are about as good as 7 and are cheaper...BUT get the 15 $ bones reds theyre great and are very cheap...might last a little shorter but are a lot cheaper than abec 7s or 5s

Answer 5

dude dont listen to these guys

abec doesn't depends on the size of the number.

all abec run the same.  most skateboard bearings are abec 5 so i would stick with reds if your price range is low or swiss / ceramics(bones) if you have a higher budget.
