Cheezeball Bearings was founded by people with a passion to find the best quality, most durable and longest-lasting bearings for the cheapest possible price, and to pass those savings along to the men and women that make this growing sport so great!
Due to the unique stresses Roller Derby puts on skate bearings selecting the right setups was no easy task. Bearings should first and foremost be tough and durable in order to stand up to the hard hits that top level derby skaters encounter. They must be fast and smooth, since any increase in bearing efficiency results in a longer roll and less physical effort to maintain consistent speed, which results in faster lap times and more points per jam. They must be durable and require less maintenance, since very few skaters take the time to properly clean and lube their bearings. And finally they must be as corrosion resistant as possible, since we all know most bearings spend most of their lives stuffed in a steamy, salty (and usually pretty stinky) skate bag; there is nothing worse than rusty bearings!!!
