RRRF Store's skate bearings out of stock. When will they be restocked?
August 02, 2008 01:43AM
I'm buying the majority of my Seedling parts this weekend (the ones ordered online to be shipped on Monday, hopefully), and I noticed that the RRRF store is out of skate bearings. I need the 16 required for the McWire.

Anyone know when/if they are going to get more in?

Or should I try to find another supplier for them?

Thanks!

Skate bearings aren't exactly hard to come by. spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

Yep, should be plenty of suppliers out there if you look for size 608 skate bearings. If you're in the UK, you can pick up a pack of 16 from kate's skates

[www.kateskates.co.uk] - I tried here and picked up a set of 16 for 14.50 GBP.

or from skate asylum.

[www.skateasylum.co.uk]

then skates.co.uk

[www.skates.co.uk]

and so on.

Yeah, but I liked the pricing and simplicity. I was already buying from RRRF so it would save me time and money (both in shipping and the fact that they bulk-ordered).

I can just order from McMaster at $4.06 each (#5972K36) or buy from some specialty store for around $1 each (lower quality probably).

...I'd still like to know if/when RRRF is restocking them though.

$4 each?

I got a set of 16 from ebay for about $12 (10 Eur to be precise)

Well, I found these [www.vxb.com] for $0.59 each. 16 would cost $9.44 plus around $6 shipping. I doubt quality at such prices, although if RRRF is not an option, this would be my next choice.

Okay, I got me those (exactly):
[cgi.ebay.de]

They're more than sufficient for a (in my case) RepStrap or RepRap.

I'm unsure if I would use them in my skateboard, but I don't load my cartesian with 80kilos and ride it at 10miles an hour winking smiley
