bearings=sucky?

why do my bearings suck. i just put it in, and i did not see an amazing improvement like everyone else said. am i suppose to put vaseline all over it or something? what am i doing wrong. i cleaned it all and everything. alot of the grease is gone becuase it was stuck to the hair that i removed though. help me!

Give it a little time. Let the bearings break in a little, they usually perform better after a little time.

Or if you have no patience, (like me) you can soak them in degreaser, rinse the degreaser out, then use a thin oil for lube.

Takes all of about 10 minutes to do.

for the bearing on my skateboard, it took about and hour to break them in. I wouldnt recomend soaking them because ive seen MANY bearing destroyed that way.
