Do the classic board up and down a wall at the skatepark.
Tried explaining that to a kid at one of the few indoor parks in Australia and he looked at me like I had two heads.

Ffs. It rained last time I skated and looks like one side of my wheels got wet carrying my board. Now my shieldless bearings are rusty on one side. Will the rust wear off or shall I just replace them?
Don’t get me started on bearing shields.
But in your place, I’d buy new.

Liberal amounts of lube, bit of skating, see what happens.

Had a quick roll. After initially not really moving they seemed to break in. Just surface rust I think. They live to spin another day
They’ll be fine, squirt of wd and roll on.
Wait, isn’t wd-40 the worst thing for bearings?

Truly, words to live by
I’ve just stepped it up slightly after being on an 8 for good while with a 14 wheelbase, just got a Quasi 8.125. With a 14 wb. I could only find one Indy hollow for some reason today but managed to find some raw Ace 44s ( I’d previously been on Ace 22s that were too small really for my 8 inch )for 20 quid (It says its for a pair ).
Just need to sort some new Spitfires now (might as well go all in). I have been skating the lil Smokies but they seem to have stopped making them.

You can’t go wrong with Formula Four Classics and you’ll find those everywhere I reckon. 52, 99A on all my setups. It’s the wheel.

Yeah I am kind of leaning towards those.

Sweet! You won’t be disappointed. You can skate anything with these.
Never cleaned my wheels up with a Stanley knife but probably spent what adds up to hours scrubbing what I can only describe as “indoor park build up” onto the walls of the indoor park I used to work at.
Said this before but one of the unexpected benefits of the new generation of soft, slidey wheels is that you don’t get that waxy wheel crud build up, if just falls off. No idea why this isn’t in all the marketing that’s pumped out
Some wheels seem to pick up less crap than others. Formula Four 97a are good at staying crap-free.
