How do I adjust the bearings on my Easton wheels?

Wheel FAQs
The bearings on Easton wheels do not need adjustments. On all models except for Circuit Comp, the hub has an internal spring that makes the bearing self-adjusting. While the Circuit Comp does not share this feature, we devised a clever way to pre-determine the bearing preload during factory assembly, so, again, there is no adjustment necessary. If you are experiencing some lateral play, there is no need for alarm; it's your assurance that the bearing is running as efficiently as possible. See similar questions...

Bearing size is standard in skating, so all skate bearings fit all skate wheels. They are called 608 precision bearings and are rated in ABEC. ABEC stands for Annular Bearing Engineers' Committee. This committee works to determine the standards for bearings for the Anti-Friction Bearing Manufacturers Association (AFBMA). All 608 precision bearings are rated at least ABEC 1. The higher the rating a bearing gets the tighter the tolerances are. In other words the closer the fit. See similar questions...

What are bearings?

El Skate Shop: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Bearings are cylindrical mechanisms that go into the skateboard wheels. They have an inner central shaft which fits over the skateboard truck axles. They have an outer shaft that fits into the skateboard wheel. In between the two shafts are small steel or ceramic balls that roll in what is called a raceway. Bearings make world of difference in the way a skateboard rides. A lot of companies like to rate their bearings with the ABEC rating. See similar questions...

Will I notice a difference ride-wise after I install the bearings?

Welcome To FTM Enterprises
Yes, you should notice a smoother, more fluid ride and that all wheel wobble associated with Timken style bearings will be gone. The first thing I noticed was that my wheel wobble had stopped and that I actually needed to apply the brake when I was waiting at a stop light. The ride is so much smoother now."
