How To Clean Your Bearings Like A Pro
In this video I show you the method I use to keep my bearings running smooth and fast for many years! Regular maintenance is key for keeping bearings in top condition ensuring optimal performance on track and road. My longest lasting set of bearings is in use since 2009 and still spins phenomenal. I found my bearings lasting way longer when using an ultra sonic bath and staying away from gasoline or white spirits for cleaning. Another benefit is that it's more environmentally friendly and doesn't cause bad smell or skin irritations.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
If you are curious about my bearings I've got a 15% discount for you if you use this link: tinyurl.com/2qstn5tm
Simple Ultra Sonic Bath I can recommend:

I love the color of the hair dryer… Thanks for this inside. I also love this process with water and had never problems.

WD-40 only treats the surface, but does not lubricate it. The WD40 gets to the surface, displaces water and creates a thin oil film. After processing the surface with a mesh, the surface needs to be lubricated - the liquid has the property of evaporating. When it is necessary to tear off a stuck nut; to protect from moisture or preserve metal mechanisms and surfaces; to clean and disconnect rusty parts; to release jammed mechanisms - these are the areas of application of the WD40. So if u use WD40 for your bearings - its not good. Less life cylce.

Whoaa these bearings spin super smooth and fast!! I currently use the wicked freespin Abec 9 with my 4x110 matter wheel setup. But I think they don’t run as smooth as yours! I also tried spinning with different spacer sizes.😅

@FelixRijhnen1 7 месяцев назад

Give them a good clean and see if it helps

@baddan314 Год назад

I clean my bearings the same way as you, except for two things : I use a plastic basket and I put more water because metal on metal and not enough water can damage the ultrasonic cleaner. Dish cleaning soap and hot watter is also the best cleaning agent I found after many many tests.

@FelixRijhnen1 Год назад

Very interesting to hear! Actually, my ultrasonic bath is about 15 years old but I guess better safe than sorry

@baddan314 Год назад

@@FelixRijhnen1 I tried many thing and when I tried putting less water as it was supposed to enhance the cleaning effect after a few times my cleaner broke. Then I found people who use ulrasonic cleaners on a daily base who told that we were supposed to pu watter until the mark because it can damange the cleaner to not put enough water so now I fill it. It's better to do a longer cleaning or many short ones if the bearing are too dirty. The cheap clieaners are perfect for us because they are smaller and we can pour hot water ourselves

@user-uj3xu8ve5q 3 месяца назад

Hello Felix, Great video and actually after watching this video I ordered a set of bearings as shown in the video. In real the just received bearings are not running as smoothly as yours. Do you have a tip to get them running like shown in the video? I already added a drop of "real" bearing oil but still not as smooth as in the video. Thanks.

@FelixRijhnen1 3 месяца назад

Hey! The bearings will need a couple kilometers of skating and a good clean before they perform at their best. Let me know how it goes for you.

@user-uj3xu8ve5q 3 месяца назад

@@FelixRijhnen1 Thanks Felix. I am still training on the ice but they will get their kilometers for sure starting end of next month. So they need actually first some kilometers and a clean? I will keep you informed.

@juliusrieda8286 Год назад

Nice tutorial, Yeah gotta admit the WD40 as lubricant in the end also suprised me :))) Do You have any tips for cleaning ceramic bearings? I mean do they need cleaning at all, I heard they just need to be blown with compressor...no lubricants or cleaners are needed.

@FelixRijhnen1 Год назад

I follow pretty much the same procedure with a few minor tweaks

@BerndReinhardAKlose Год назад

Hallo Felix, dein Video. Normalerweise nehme ich die Kugellager auseinander denn ich habe kein Ultra-cleaner. Viele Grüsse aus Brasilien und viel Erfolg immmer.

@ede5331 Год назад

Hallo Felix, funktioniert das auch mit „geschlossenen“ Lagern ? Deine sind einseitig offen, meine beidseitig geschlossen. Bei WD 40 bin ich mir nicht so sicher, da dass ja recht schnell verfliegt. Kannst du noch ne andere gute Schmierung empfehlen ?

@FelixRijhnen1 Год назад

Ich würde immer eine Seite öffnen. Du bekommst sonst das Fett nicht raus und die Gefahr, dass Feuchtigkeit im Lager bleibt ist auch ziemlich hoch.

@jerryandersson1540 Год назад

If you have a small compressor available, a good method is to use an air nozzle to blow on the wheels to make them rotate very quickly after cleaning and oiling the bearings. You will immediately notice if any of the bearings are not okay, and I have noticed that the wheels actually roll better. Wenn Sie einen kleinen Kompressor zur Verfügung haben, ist eine gute Methode, die Räder mit einer Luftdüse anzublasen, um sie nach der Reinigung und Ölung der Lager sehr schnell drehen zu lassen. Sie werden sofort bemerken, ob eines der Lager nicht in Ordnung ist, und ich habe festgestellt, dass die Räder tatsächlich besser rollen. (The german part by Chat GPT)

@FelixRijhnen1 Год назад

That’s right! A little to much hassle for me to do regularly though.

Felix any hint for cleaning the bearings after a rainy marathon, when there is no place for it... take off the wheels, pover with oil, clean at home? :)

@FelixRijhnen1 Год назад

I take the bearings out of the wheels and then bath them in WD-40 - soon as possible after give them a proper clean

@rockandrollers Год назад

Hola Felix, oye ¿Usas wd-40 común para lubricar? Tengo entendido que no sirve para rodamientos porque penetra el metal y no deja una película protectora en la superficie de la bola. Me gustó la limpieza con ultrasonido y agua, pero creo que seguiré usando isopropanol y lubricante ronson para rodamientos. xD Buen vídeo maestro.

@carlosmiret35 5 месяцев назад

es que depende del rodamiento, creo que aquí él no lo explica porque da a entender que lo que él usa, es lo que usan todos... pero hay cerámicos, de acero, suizos (que es lo mismo pero con más calidad, etc.)

@rockandrollers 5 месяцев назад

Claro, de hecho los cerámicos ni siquiera necesitan lubricación y en caso de que sí, podría perfectamente ser WD40. @@carlosmiret35

How much time do the sonic bath takes?

@FelixRijhnen1 Год назад

It depends very much on how dirty your bearings are. Sometimes you might get away with 10-15min - other times it can be easily double that time.

No, Felix, nooooo! Avoid to use WD40, it is not lubricant, it's detergent! There are plenty of good oils, make a favor for your bearings. By the way, an easy way to remove water from a bearing is to put it in isopropyl alcohol for a minute. Thanks for sharing your experience, I was looking about to use ultrasonic bath too, so it was super useful knowledge.
