Hi, I am looking for a bearing with a crease in the middle that lasts long because I feel like I’m going thorough them too quickly. Price doesn’t matter as of now. Thanks ---

Going through them? What do you mean by that. Are you cleaning your bearings out and re-lubing them? ---

S/C ceramic bearings last 5 times longer then steel. That is why they are used in aircrafts… ---

Ceramic bearings will last a lot shorter than regular bearings if you don’t take care of them. ---

pick up a crucial groove. great bearing right there. I’ve yet to have a bearing die on me, and I have some 3-4 year old throws with (presumably) the original bearing.
