These were a rare bearing, sold exclusively through Milehighskates by Rock’n’Ron on the MHS Pricepoint completes.  These are also the bearings that I owned that were ruined by Skanunu Cleaner/Lube.  If any fat, angry, Canadians try to tell you that these were NOT made by Rockin Ron, tell him to check out Milehighskates.com on the Internet Wayback Machine on web.archive.org sometime around 2008.  Throughout the years, I’ve come to realize that bearings can make a substantial difference under specific circumstances, but it’s really not worth obsessing over like some people want to.
