Do pros use bearing spacers?
Do pros use bearing spacers? Bearing spacers are totally optional; longboarders and casual skaters likely won't put enough pressure on their boards to ever need them, though they are definitely a good investment if you want to slide, do a lot of tricks, and generally skate hard. Unlike bearings, bearing spacers are not one-size-fits-all. When should pivot bearings be replaced? Normally every 12–18 months for the casual once a week rider. But I've seen bearings go in 6 months and others last 3 years. Drop that shock out and keep an eye out for yourself. Is it easy to replace...
