Reawaken your bearings.
Not too expensive, and even the half ounce lasts you quite a while. I'd like to use this review to answer a few questions that I had when I was originally researching bearing lube for the first time.Firstly, If you choose bones speed cream, it is the only lube you will need. there are many lubes that work great for bearings in different conditions but all of them work independently, bones isn't meant to go on top of your current lube, it works best when you CLEAN your bearings, (just google "how to clean skate bearings"there are also instructions included with the speed cream for this) then apply 2 drops directly onto the balls and races inside each bearing, give them a little spin between your fingers and put everything back together.Second, this lube is relatively light, it wont last as long as white lithium grease or other similar lubes and it wont protect as well. however, being that it is light and formulated for skate bearings rather than heavy machinery, it is really fast. White lithium grease does a great job of protecting bearings from the elements like sand and water (and for long periods of time, but it does so at the sacrifice of a little speed. if you clean regularly and use bones, you will get the max speed out of your bearings. however, if you are lazy, and/or plan to be skating a lot in rain, dirt or sand, you may want to consider a heavier lube with more protection.I bought a complete longboard that came with some pretty crappy abec 7s, after skating them less than a day, i cleaned them out completely with solvent and relubed them with bones and it literally felt like i bought new bearings.Stop reading this review and go skate!

It's Bones what do you want to know? It's the go to for bearings and bearing lube.
As the headline said, it's Bones! Although so, there is one problem for when I used it on my bearings. it's that dirt is still attracted to the oil but I probably put too much, even though only two drops... Anyway, just don't put too much on your bearings so that they leak out when you start shredding or you're gonna regret it. Overall, it's freaking Bones Speed Cream; it's like buying Post-its for your notes, it's the go-to. Any other brand it just wont stick (or roll) the same.

Excellent for Roller hockey bearings
Used this cream for a cleaning of my roller hockey bearings. The roll that these create is perfectly smooth as long as the bearings are fully cleaned properly.Just need to make sure that all of the citrus based cleaners are out of the bearings. A good way to do this would be using something such as strong isopropyl alcohol. Either way, my bearing are running perfectly now.

Fixes Hot Wheels and EVERYTHING else!
Used it to fix my sons rusted Hot Wheels since he likes to take them in the bath.This lube fixes the rust and actually makes them faster on the track.EDIT: I use this for EVERYTHING.I recently adjusted my sliding door and put a couple drops in each of the bearings. Now the door opens and closes quieter and smoother.My sons bike was squeaking, a couple drops is all it needed.The lock to my apartment complex was getting stuck. I put a few drops in the key hole and now my key unlocks better than before.Who knew something I used almost 20 years ago as a kid would come in so handy today.

Not to be confused with personal lube (no, i didn't but you might)
I live in Hawaii, so I have to keep a careful eye on my bearings (and everything metal, even stainless steel, arggg) to keep the rust at bay. Bones Speed Cream was my standard in San Diego but on the islands, it has also proved true. I love how it does not attract dirt or sand, and keeps my bearings spinning fast and rustless for a good amount of time:)

beware of downhill speeds!
Added this to the low end Bones Reds and was frighteningly impressed with the lack of friction.We took 3rd place at a local couch race only because our steering was unable to handle the speed generated by the wheel and speed creamed bearing combo. The race officials forced us to ride our brakes the entire time or forgot for lack of safety.In all reality, they were right. We were going way too fast and unable to control the speed wobble at 25 mph+ on a rickety steering system.Props to Bones for making a great product that scared the **** out of us.

Good cream bad bottle.
After cleaning my skate Bearings. I must say this lubricant was so needed. The tip is larger than I would have liked it to be. That made it harder than needed to be to put lubricant right on each bearing after cleaning. I had overly applied the lubricant and ended up feeling like I lost some of the lubricant that i would not have lost if it came with a pointed (needle nose) tip that I seen on other bottles.I do not like that I needed to take the bearing cover off to so I know that the bearings got lubricated. It looked more like it was just on the outside of the Bearing hub and after skating it was all over my wheels. Extra cleaning that I so did not want to do so soon after a cleaning.So this lubricant works, just be ready to take off your wheels and pull the bearing cap off just to make sure the Lubricant goes were you needed it.I will be looking for Bones to put out a better tipped bottle for my next buy. This made way to mush work to use a lubricant.

Amazing Product for a Low Price
The product came in smaller than I thought it would but that's fine because You only need one or two drops for each bearing. I'm sure this bottle will last me a long time. When I cleaned my bearings, they spun pretty loud but then I add a drop of this in it and it becomes silent. It does slow down a little bit but you just gotta spin it a lot to make it evenly spread out. I did have some minor issues with getting 100% of the drop into the bearing as some gets on the side of the bearing. I'm sure it's just me being sloppy but I'll try to figure out how to drop the cream better next time. This is just me not wanting to waste even a tiny 1% of the drop so don't let this not make you want to buy it. It really is a great product as it makes my bearings run smooth and quiet. Highly recommended product.

This product will make you be one with nature
This bearing cream makes my bearings roll super smooth, no one can hear me cruising up behind them on my longboard as my wheels are so quiet now. I'm able to listen to nature and be one with the universe.

DONT WORK KEEP AWAY FROM THIS
Well what can I say this is not good just don't do what it says .SPEED CREAM . MORE LIKE SLOW CREAM. my bearing just go slower with this on and not for long I have a good set of bearing RS PRO RIDERS HYBRID CERAMIC BEARING . And with this on just don't work .but with 3 in 1 multi oil on very good just keeps going. I think SPEED cream is just a rip off. Will not by again and the cost it bad to for what you get please look for something else please don't use this it dont work i work with bikes so know what to do with bearing . Rip off

My board has never run this smoothly.
I used this for reapplying lubricant to my Boosted Mini X and upon the first ride, I could immediately tell that this was better.The instructions say to apply two droplets per bearing for metal and one for ceramic. I did two per bearing and a once over all the way around. I figured that since It's an electric skateboard that it's going faster and will get more use than a regular skateboard bearing would. It might be placebo but carving feels easier. I can tell that the wheels spin with less resistance. Would absolutely buy again.

Meh, not sure I needed this product.
Applied to some slow performing bearings and saw no change. Applied to some fast bearings and saw no change. Is this just Snakeoil? Also wondering if it's not just as economically practical to buy new bearings when old ones get slow and forego this kind of treatment

Great lubricant
Bearings were getting pretty loud and some were struggling to spin from skating in the rain. After I cleaned the bearings and put the lubricant on they spin perfectly again and they’re quieter than before. The only downside is that this lubricant isn’t the cheapest for how much you actually receive. To make the rusty bearings spin well again though I had to put some excess lubricant in compared to the non rusted ones
