Just raw, fast bearings.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBronson Raw bearings are functional, no-gimmick skateboard bearings with no shields at all. Without shields there's nowhere for dirt and gunk to build up, and the inside of the bearing is right there when you want to clean or lube it. They suit skaters who like a fast, loud, open bearing and don't want to fuss with shields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe races carry a micro-thin tungsten coating that acts as a dry lubricant, keeping them rolling smoothly for longer. Deep groove raceways help them handle side impacts, the Max Impact cage keeps the balls evenly spaced, and each set is packed in nitrogen-filled shrink wrap so they're fresh when you open them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShield-free design:\u003c\/strong\u003e no gunk trapped under shields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTungsten coated races:\u003c\/strong\u003e micro-thin dry lubricant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep groove raceways:\u003c\/strong\u003e handle side impacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Impact cage:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps balls evenly spaced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to service:\u003c\/strong\u003e nothing to remove before cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrogen sealed:\u003c\/strong\u003e fresh out of the pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating \/ standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronson Raw (no ABEC rating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 608 standard, 8mm bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalls:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 steel balls per bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tungsten coated, deep groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShields:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (shield-free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Max Impact cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nitrogen-filled shrink wrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 8 bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Bronson\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronson Speed Co. is the bearing brand from NHS, the Santa Cruz, California company behind Santa Cruz Skateboards, Independent Trucks and OJ Wheels. It was built around one job: making bearings designed for the impacts, side loads and dirt that modern skateboarding throws at them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronson is known for its G3 platform and its shield-free Raw bearings. Deep groove raceways, the Max Impact cage and Balls Out design are all aimed at keeping a bearing fast after hard landings, and every set ships nitrogen sealed so it is fresh when you open it. Riders pick Bronson for strong, quick bearings with real skate engineering behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo these fit all skateboard wheels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo Raw bearings have an ABEC rating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Bronson doesn't use ABEC, which only measures machining tolerances for industrial use. Raw bearings are built to Bronson's own skate spec, with deep groove raceways and tungsten coated races, and the shield-free design is the real point of difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean shieldless bearings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are no shields to remove, so just wipe off dirt and add a drop or two of skate bearing oil when they start to feel dry. If they get properly gritty, flush them in isopropyl alcohol, dry them fully and re-oil. Keep them out of water, as there's nothing stopping it getting in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need spacers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacers aren't included, so add a set if you want them. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre shieldless bearings louder?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, they tend to have a louder, raw hum because nothing covers the balls. That's normal and part of the appeal for a lot of skaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Twelve Board Store\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Expert skate advice from real riders, 7 days a week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Easy returns for a hassle-free experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Huge range of skate, snow \u0026amp; electric gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Proudly Australian owned \u0026amp; operated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronson Speed Co.
