Skateboard Bearing Spacers - What's the point?

It’s fine. This guy [VIDEO] does a fairly deep dive on skateboarding spacers if you wanna get more detailed. But you’re good

it should still roll okay. but you're going to wear out the bearings extra fast. if it bugs you too much replacements are pretty cheap or ask anyone if they have a spare. this video explains spacers [VIDEO]. it's pretty informative. but play it at 1.5 or 1.75 speed to save your sanity.

Assuming you use different wheels for your longboard, your issue could have to do with how deep the inner cores of your Spitfires are. Neil Hester's video about bearing spacers has some good information: [VIDEO]

There are many reasons for this + Broken bearings + Nut is too tight, if you don't use bearings spacers + Nut is too loose, when using spacers or spacer does nit fit properly (See [VIDEO] ) + No speed washers In my opinion the best thing would be to use spacers and speed washers properly (or buy bearings wir integrated spaces/washers) and tighten the nuts down. Watch the video above! The bearings have to be parallel,

I've not seen ***any*** wheel that uses precision bearings, ***require*** bearing spacers. These wheels have a "seat" that the bearings fit into keeping them in place within the wheel allowing them to be placed on the axle and able to roll. Bearing spacers are used to keep the bearings in a true alignment for supposedly better performance and longevity. BTW - I always use bearing spacers, but from what I read, most s
