Andale Swiss Tin Bearings

Andale Swiss Tin Bearings

Grade 5 Swiss-precision bearings in a full kit, packed in a tin.

The Andalé Swiss Tin is a complete bearing kit built to be one of the fastest sets around. It's for skaters who want premium speed and everything they need in one box, from spare shields to spacers, all packed in a custom tin that's handy for storage.

Each bearing uses high precision Grade 5 chrome steel balls and precision polished chrome steel races to cut friction and lift speed. Non-contact removable rubber shields lock into the inner race to keep the bearing cleaner, and synthetic oil reduces friction and protects against corrosion. The kit includes 8 bearings, 8 replacement shields, 4 spacers and 4 axle nuts.

About Andale

Andalé Bearings is a skater owned and operated company started by pros Joey Brezinski and Paul Rodriguez. The idea came about while both were between bearing sponsors, and the name came out of a conversation between Brezinski and Chico Brenes.

Today Andalé's range runs from everyday bearings up to its Swiss line, which uses Grade 5 chrome steel balls and precision polished races, plus pro-model and Mixtape bearings carrying the names of its team riders. Riders choose Andalé for dependable bearings with genuine skater ownership behind them.

FAQs

Do these fit all skateboard wheels?
Yes. They're standard 608 size skateboard bearings with an 8mm bore, so they fit almost every skateboard, cruiser and longboard wheel on a standard 8mm axle. Each wheel takes two bearings, so this set of 8 does all four wheels on one board.

What does Swiss mean on Andalé bearings?
It refers to Andalé's top line, which is manufactured to Swiss precision and quality with Grade 5 chrome steel balls and polished races. Andalé doesn't state that they're made in Switzerland, and it's not an ABEC number; ABEC only covers industrial machining tolerances.

How do I clean and look after them?
Flick the removable rubber shields off with a pin, soak the bearings in citrus degreaser or isopropyl alcohol and dry them completely. Add two or three drops of skate bearing lube, refit the shields and spin them in. Clean them whenever they sound gritty or slow down. The kit's spare shields come in handy if one gets damaged.

Do I need spacers?
The kit includes 4 spacers, one per wheel. Spacers sit on the axle between the two bearings in each wheel, so the bearings stay lined up when you tighten the axle nut. Lots of street skaters ride without them, but they help bearings spin freely and stop them being crushed if the nut is over-tightened.

What comes in the Swiss Tin?
8 bearings, 8 replacement shields, 4 bearing spacers and 4 axle nuts, packed in a custom Andalé tin.
