Where to find micro-bearings - 13:37 23 Mar 07 Hey guys, my 1st post except the one to introduce myself is about bearings.
I'm gonna need to buy new ones, but I don't know any shop in this country.
Could you please advise me on good places/websites to find micro-bearings (I believe they're called 688 as oposed to 608) with good value for money?
I'll need 20 of them for my speed skates.
Cheers

Re:Where to find micro-bearings - 16:33 23 Mar 07 Try all the shops in the Web Links section of this site. I am pretty sure I have seen them for sale but can't remember which shop it was

sorry!

Very happy to hear they are bringing back Red Dwarf in 2009 for four episodes!!

Re:Where to find micro-bearings - 08:00 26 Mar 07 I think I kept my micro bearings from an old set of Salomons I had - only enough for a set of four wheelers though... ! Skate Monkey !

Re:Where to find micro-bearings - 13:43 26 Mar 07 Ain't gonna be enough

Although maybe I can save the 4 least rusty from my old ones... Yeah maybe I'll do that and we can meet at Dorney lake and trade those. I'll let you know, thanks.
I haven't had much success trying most of the shops in the links section. Maybe I missed the one that sells them.

Re:Where to find micro-bearings - 13:56 26 Mar 07 sk8jam probably knows where to get micro bearings. I think she has quads that use them. If one of us can try and remember to ask her on saturday, or maybe she'll spot this post.

She may even have some, but you would have to come over to the Arena on a saturday, and as Lemming knows, it's not a good venue for speed skates.

demonxtreme.com
prolineskates.com
hockeyrange.com
... and from outside the UK...
skates.com
inlinewarehouse.com
baysideblades.com.au
... I hope this helps. Very happy to hear they are bringing back Red Dwarf in 2009 for four episodes!!

Re:Where to find micro-bearings - 11:46 27 Mar 07 It does help, thanks!!
And sorry, coz' I usually hate people who ask for the answer and are too lazy to look around the links when directed to them... I really tried about 10 of these sites, but either not the good ones or I didn't find the bearing page...
Anyway now I'll soon have no excuse for not getting back to training!!
