What bearings do you use? I'm on rollerblade sg7 and about to switch to twincam ilq9 (seba brand frome shop task) I had bones swiss brand bearings but they are much slower than my sh7s, looked like my old skateboard brand loyaltys were all for not haha.

I've heard some negative reviews about RB's SG7. Don't know if it's true or not, I didn't had a chance to try them out. I run with ILQ7's, they fine as long as they're clean and lubricated, they handle jumps without any problems, at least I still don't have any.

I've got ABEC 5 bearings. I've had no problems with them, Although I think I need to lubricate some of them, since they're starting to stick.

Bones Swiss. Recommended to me by a guy I know that owns a skate shop. Gave me a deal on them, too. Never regretted the purchase. Things ride like I'm on air.

Bones Swiss were the shit, when I had them on my freestyle frames way back when. I forget what my bearings are. XD They were included when I bought the Kizer Arrow Powerblade set up from rollerwarehouse. They were labeled as "Powerblade" bearings on the aite, but they said "Slalom" on the removable shield. haha I love em though. :] Not a bad replacement for my Bones Swiss at all. I'll get the name when I clean my bearings.

Was on the generic ABEC 7s that came with my skates, but got some BSB ABEC 9 bearings for christmas and what an amazing difference in speed. Loving them.

Not a significant difference that would seem immediately apparent... The sixes are designed with high stress high impact in mind. Basically, they're designed for gaps and jumps. Other than that tolerance differences between regular swiss and sixes are negligible.
