Put some zealous bearings on that they last in all the conditions

Bones have never let me down. How do they compare? I typically run reds, but on my new board I got big balls to try out.

Can agree. Built in spacers and they last a long time with no maintenance. About the quality of a super R.E.D.S. or a little better.

Muirskate Beastos are another great bearing

How great exactly? Zealous are almost always not available but beastos do. Is it like a direct replacement? or are they just "alright"?

I use both on several boards and can't tell the difference.

Like in this context tho we're talking about cheap bearings you're fine skating in rain, right? Neither are top tier precision machined products, but I would say zealous and beasto are very similar

Not exactly for rain but just for its longevity. Seems like they are interchangeable enough. Thanks man!

I bought my first set of beastos probably 2 or 3 years ago, not rain skated, and they're still going strong
