WD-40 only treats the surface, but does not lubricate it. The WD40 gets to the surface, displaces water and creates a thin oil film. After processing the surface with a mesh, the surface needs to be lubricated - the liquid has the property of evaporating. When it is necessary to tear off a stuck nut; to protect from moisture or preserve metal mechanisms and surfaces; to clean and disconnect rusty parts; to release jammed mechanisms - these are the areas of application of the WD40. So if u use WD40 for your bearings - its not good. Less life cylce.
I clean my bearings the same way as you, except for two things : I use a plastic basket and I put more water because metal on metal and not enough water can damage the ultrasonic cleaner. Dish cleaning soap and hot watter is also the best cleaning agent I found after many many tests.
@@FelixRijhnen1 I tried many thing and when I tried putting less water as it was supposed to enhance the cleaning effect after a few times my cleaner broke. Then I found people who use ulrasonic cleaners on a daily base who told that we were supposed to pu watter until the mark because it can damange the cleaner to not put enough water so now I fill it. It's better to do a longer cleaning or many short ones if the bearing are too dirty. The cheap clieaners are perfect for us because they are smaller and we can pour hot water ourselves
Whoaa these bearings spin super smooth and fast!! I currently use the wicked freespin Abec 9 with my 4x110 matter wheel setup. But I think they don’t run as smooth as yours! I also tried spinning with different spacer sizes.😅
Hello Felix, Great video and actually after watching this video I ordered a set of bearings as shown in the video. In real the just received bearings are not running as smoothly as yours. Do you have a tip to get them running like shown in the video? I already added a drop of "real" bearing oil but still not as smooth as in the video. Thanks.
@@FelixRijhnen1 Thanks Felix. I am still training on the ice but they will get their kilometers for sure starting end of next month. So they need actually first some kilometers and a clean? I will keep you informed.
Thanks Felix, will get a sonic cleaner. I went out for a skate on a wet winter day and left them without drying them, the shock of finding every wheel seized 😖 stupid mistake
Hallo Felix, dein Video. Normalerweise nehme ich die Kugellager auseinander denn ich habe kein Ultra-cleaner. Viele Grüsse aus Brasilien und viel Erfolg immmer.
Yeah, all the company advertise with soem type of speed oil and these man wash the bearings with dish soap and water and grease them with old fashion w40
If you have a small compressor available, a good method is to use an air nozzle to blow on the wheels to make them rotate very quickly after cleaning and oiling the bearings. You will immediately notice if any of the bearings are not okay, and I have noticed that the wheels actually roll better. Wenn Sie einen kleinen Kompressor zur Verfügung haben, ist eine gute Methode, die Räder mit einer Luftdüse anzublasen, um sie nach der Reinigung und Ölung der Lager sehr schnell drehen zu lassen. Sie werden sofort bemerken, ob eines der Lager nicht in Ordnung ist, und ich habe festgestellt, dass die Räder tatsächlich besser rollen. (The german part by Chat GPT)
Felix any hint for cleaning the bearings after a rainy marathon, when there is no place for it... take off the wheels, pover with oil, clean at home? :)
Hallo Felix, funktioniert das auch mit „geschlossenen“ Lagern ? Deine sind einseitig offen, meine beidseitig geschlossen. Bei WD 40 bin ich mir nicht so sicher, da dass ja recht schnell verfliegt. Kannst du noch ne andere gute Schmierung empfehlen ?
Hola Felix, oye ¿Usas wd-40 común para lubricar? Tengo entendido que no sirve para rodamientos porque penetra el metal y no deja una película protectora en la superficie de la bola. Me gustó la limpieza con ultrasonido y agua, pero creo que seguiré usando isopropanol y lubricante ronson para rodamientos. xD Buen vídeo maestro.
es que depende del rodamiento, creo que aquí él no lo explica porque da a entender que lo que él usa, es lo que usan todos... pero hay cerámicos, de acero, suizos (que es lo mismo pero con más calidad, etc.)
@@rockandrollers gracias por el dato! Los Wicked ILQ9 que uso yo para entrenar usan grasa Kyodo, por eso pregunté porque cada tipo de rodamiento necesita lubricante especifico y por conocer un poco más
No, Felix, nooooo! Avoid to use WD40, it is not lubricant, it's detergent! There are plenty of good oils, make a favor for your bearings. By the way, an easy way to remove water from a bearing is to put it in isopropyl alcohol for a minute. Thanks for sharing your experience, I was looking about to use ultrasonic bath too, so it was super useful knowledge.
@@FelixRijhnen1 I'm OK with water and soap, cause some detergents are flammable or pretty costly. Right, it's important to remove water after cleaning, but it is not an issue. I'm just surprised you are allowed by Katharina to do that in the kitchen :)
Nice tutorial, Yeah gotta admit the WD40 as lubricant in the end also suprised me :))) Do You have any tips for cleaning ceramic bearings? I mean do they need cleaning at all, I heard they just need to be blown with compressor...no lubricants or cleaners are needed.
You don’t need all that the only thin you need is WD 40 silicone just put it in a little cup ha way full off oil shake it very well and repeat it again and to you see it clear oil
@@FelixRijhnen1ah cool, so likely in one hour I’ll have them cleaned and back into my skates ready to go. Thanks so much, you got me hyped on this. I usually wash them with chemicals but it’s time to move on. 🫶🏻
Please don't use WD-40 for metal parts (it's only for cleaning). Ultimately, it would help if you used WD40 white lithium grease spray (for example) as a lube, it's also cheap and simple to use. Don't forget - "how to clean" it's not "how to clean and lube"

Great! But, to what type of bearings is good for? ceramics, steel...?
I clean all my bearings this way

Hey! The bearings will need a couple kilometers of skating and a good clean before they perform at their best. Let me know how it goes for you.

Amazing tutorial…maybe now my skates will spin again. Next video idea: how to skate a fast 100m on ice? That would be awesome
I’m the wrong guy for fast 100m’s 😂
Hello sir you are not using any type of speed oil for the bearing

That’s right! A little to much hassle for me to do regularly though.
@@FelixRijhnen1 I guess time is beter spent on the road. :0) Very good job on the ice this season!
Thanks Jerry! I do my best!
nice video felix... can you clean my bearing ahah
Hahaha! Sorry but that’s on you!
Thank you Felix. Quick question: how frequently do you do this?
Before every race and if I’m only training every 3-4 weeks
Felix any hint for cleaning the bearings after a rainy marathon, when there is no place for it... take off the wheels, pover with oil, clean at home? :)
I take the bearings out of the wheels and then bath them in WD-40 - soon as possible after give them a proper clean
Cool

Ich würde immer eine Seite öffnen. Du bekommst sonst das Fett nicht raus und die Gefahr, dass Feuchtigkeit im Lager bleibt ist auch ziemlich hoch.

@@fredericpeschanski9561 Agree, Felix will run fast, even if the bearings are lubricated with shoe polish. But this is not necessary.

It depends very much on how dirty your bearings are. Sometimes you might get away with 10-15min - other times it can be easily double that time.

Nop, it's not :) The acoustic cavitation cleans the bearings, not a liquid.
