    As the title says.. anyone? I am interested in picking up a set as they are cheap and I hear good things. But is it even worth it? Any performance difference?

    I have a set of 97 75a abecs coming tomorrow and I was interested in popping some zealous bearings in there. I had some terrible rattling on my 83 evolve brands with the stock bearings so I was curious to see if this would help. I also like that they have built in spacers and speed rings which makes swapping wheels a tad easier.

    Anyhow wold love some opinions if you got em!

    I have them on my AT set up, they are pretty good, don't expect any performance difference though, unless your current ones are really bad you won't notice a difference. The only slight downside is that they can be a pain in the ass to remove because the built in spacer does not let you get at the bearing face.

    Edit and they are green which looks a little strange with the black AT wheals

    I noticed much better rolling when i swapped my evolve stock bearings out for some new bearings, well oiled and built in spacers/speed rings. rolls better than the stock ones, and seem to get a touch faster speed.

    I use them on street setup, no performance gain but less hassle as no spacers to line up and speed rings to lose, not been using them long so can't comment on life expectancy.
