I've had mine for about five years. I decided to clean and lube them yesterday. Only two of the bearings needed any cleaning at all. The other six spun as though they were brand new.
I don't skate streets; only bowls and skateparks.

I bought the Zero Bearings Black Widows because they were black and cheap, looked good and went nice with my rictas, skated them for a month, no probs, deck sat in my trunk all winter, then after hitting a set twice at one of my favourite local parks one of the inside bearings popped and balls went rolling everywhere. I wouldn't recommend these. Threw back in 2 year old reds and havent looked back...

When I first bought these Zero Bearings, I was a little worried, just because I have heard some bad things about them. Boy did that change. After about 3 days, they were fully dropped in. They rode fast, and were very strong. I rode through some rain once, and I skate in the street, so there is lot of grime out there. These bearings were very satisfying, and did not break my bank($2 upgrade on complete deck at CCS.COM). The life of them finally died after about 1.5 years, due to me skating in heavy rain (very stupid).

They lasted me a while 5 months. THe Zero bearings black widows were really fast at first, then gradually got slower. I think they are an all round good bearing. One problem is that because they are oiled and not greased, dirt sticks o them

So far so good, only got these because online they were the same price as reds, and i didnt want red bearings with black wheels. Moderately fast, and stand up to big drops and power slides. Go buy em and skate. Cheap bearings, only got them because I ordered my complete online and didnt want red bearings with black wheels, they were the same price as the reds. There moderately fast. Theres a peair of 6 sets i hit behind my school daily. among other things and no problems yet, so durability is good. No real bad points, dirt sticks to them as with any other bearing. but ive got grind king dubs with thread saver nuts that have bearing sheilds that keep all the shit out of them. so its as easy as wiping the dust off them every once in awhile.

They got broken in really fast and stayed clean for a good amount of the time. Overall I say they are pretty good.

Very fast, better than the old bones i was using.

Very good bearings on the cheap. Only $17.00 for a set that will make it through the highest ledges and longest manuals.

The zero black widows have got to be the best bearings on the market today they lasted me 7 months! But they were super fast and were better than my original bones swiss bearing! Hey what are you doing reading this get out and skate.

These are an excellent alternative to bones reds and I would recommend these over reds any day of the week. Also if you live in the UK I got mine off nativeskatestore.co.uk as in my experience it was the only UK based shop I could find at the time that sold black widows for 20 pounds.

Very fast bearings, ABEC 7, very sturdy, don't break easily, easy to remove and clean and then pop back in, all around incredible bearings, I've been riding these bearings for three years and haven't had one problem.

These Zero Bearings Black Widows are slower than reds but I've broken reds twice so my friends told me to buy zero widow. I've had my bearings for well over a year and there is no problem. I can do ledges over my head and ride out like a floater. Very consistant speed (no stops or bumps) Speed is not an issuse, it can handle about 20mph. (too scared to go faster) and it still is in one piece. The best thing is its resistant to sand. I skate near the beach and there is no problem, while the reds sometimes can't keep up.

Zero Bearings Black Widows are alright bearings. If you don't have to much money you should get these, unless you live in the north. If it gets colder than 40 these go to hell in a matter of minutes but they are good in the southern desert states because they've got a pretty good resistance to sand.

The Zero Bearings Black Widows are really good, but they exploded after a weeks use, I would recommend these to a near beginner.

The Zero Bearings Black Widows bearings are very fast an ABEC 7 actually. Probably one of the best bearings out their in speed at least. They break very easily I broke them in less then 1 week. I would recommend these bearins to people who don't do very difficult tricks like jumping from high points or big sets.

I've had my Zero Bearings Black Widows for 8 months now and they are still running smoothly and fast. My board got run over by a car and they are still all fine, so I'm not sure what will kill them. Probably wear and tear will kill them in the end but don't get me wrong these are extremely good bearings, they last for ages, they're fast and they are strong.

I ordered the Zero Bearings Black Widows out of ccs and they are the best bearings i've had. Its going on one year that ive had them and they are almost like new.

my Zero Bearings Black Widows exploded after 2 weeks of having them. It was a 180 off a 6 stair that layed them to rest. I think its because they are titanium. Buy bones swiss or speed metals.
