About Loaded Jehu V2 Bearings
Loaded Jehu V2 bearings have extended inner raceways that eliminate the need for separate spacers and speed rings, so you can crank your axle nuts all the way down and keep your setup tight. They use rubberized steel shields for durability and easy maintenance, the highest-grade chromium steel, and an interior step ring that keeps them lubricated. Loaded developed and tested them for the speed, durability, and demands of performance longboarding.
