Penny board & cruiser skateboard bearings
The bearings play an important role in giving you a smooth and comfortable ride when you’re out on your cruiser board or Penny board. Each wheel contains two bearings. If you take a closer look at the side of your penny board bearings or cruiser board bearings you’ll see a small ABEC and then a number. This is an international measuring scale of the precision of bearings. Abec1 to Abec9. The higher the number, the higher the precision in the bearing.
No need to break the bank
