On the ABEC scale 7 is better but 5 is not the lowest. The scale numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, so a five would still be a good choice.
yes its the fastest for the the ABEC but you could get the swiss or ceramics but those start to get into the $100's so for the best cheapest bearings, i would get ABEC 7
abec 7
Yes: the amount of revolutions matters depending on how much friction is present in the bearings between the trucks. Abec 5, Abec 7, and Bones Swiss are all good for speed
really any good local skateshop and the best berrings are either bone Swiss abec 7's or ruch abec 7's that ive hadd
bearings go inside the skateboarding wheel
the swiss and ceramics are the most exspensive so they probably are the fastest but i would stick with ABEC 7 they work just as well
it is an Australian type of bearing and is equivalent to abec9 bearings.Read more: What_are_k1_scooter_bearings
Some people may not think that Abec 13 bearings are real but they really are, you probably don't know 'cause they have only recently been brought out. And for the people that don't know this, all Abec bearings are ranked with numbers so 1 is worst 2 is better than 1 and so on. Another fact is that the only Abec waterproof bearings are 7 or 5 I'm not that sure!
most skate shops or online. zumiez, journey's, vans, ccs.com
I don't doubt the quality of bones but as for abec9, abec7 etc, most of them are not abec9, abec7... Abec 9 bearings are used in critical aerospace and instrument applications. There are not many bearing manufacturers in the world that can make Abec 9 as most do not have the equipment and yet you see Abec 9 bearings readily available in skate shops at low prices. A real Abec 9 bearing would cost 30 to 40 US Dollars or more. I leave you to decide!!

It is the a part that gosse in the hole of the wheel and makes it spin longer and faster there are diffrent types of bearings and abec is a raiting used and also abec 3 bearings can be faster than abec 5s it really doesnt make a difference its mainly its durrability
