What is a longboard skateboard bearing?
Longboard skateboard bearings mean that skateboard bearings no longer require speed rings or bearing spacers!
The "built-in" 608 longboard bearing refers to a specific type of bearing used in longboard skateboards. The term "608" refers to the standard size of the bearing, which is commonly used in skateboarding and many other applications.

In the context of longboarding, the built-in bearing is designed to be integrated with the wheel itself. Unlike traditional skateboard bearings, which are inserted into the hub of the wheel, the built-in bearing is part of the wheel's structure. They are typically encased in the urethane material of the wheel, eliminating the need for separate bearing spacers and reducing the overall height of the setup.
The built-in 608 bearings offer several advantages to longboarders. Firstly, they simplify the wheel installation process and reduce the risk of losing or misplacing the bearings during maintenance. In addition, this design makes the ride more stable and consistent. The integrated structure reduces lateral movement and can transfer the rider's force to the wheels more directly, thus improving responsiveness and control.
Ultimately, the choice between built-in bearings and traditional bearings depends on personal preferences and the specific needs of the rider. Some longboarders prefer the convenience and performance of built-in bearings, while others prefer the flexibility of being able to replace the bearings individually for maintenance or customization.
