{"product_id":"independent-gp-s-bearings","title":"Independent GP-S Bearings","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndependent GP-S Skate Rated skateboard bearings are the Genuine Parts set built for everyday street, park, and all-around skating. Sold as a complete set of eight standard 608 bearings, they fit 8mm axles and fill every wheel on one board. A crimped, dust-proof metal outer shield blocks grit while the shieldless back stays open for fast cleaning and relubing. Micro-polished steel races, a tougher Super Cage, and factory Shell Light Oil keep the roll smooth with strong oxidation and corrosion protection. From the same Independent team behind the most trusted trucks in skateboarding, GP-S bearings are the budget workhorse for riders who want reliable speed that can be serviced instead of tossed. Grab them when you need a full set that rolls clean out of the tin and holds up to daily sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eServiceable Metal Shield and Super Cage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout feature on Independent GP-S bearings is the serviceable shield layout paired with the Super Cage. A crimped metal outer shield is dust resistant and helps keep Shell Light Oil where it belongs, while the open back lets you pop the shield, wipe out grit, and add a drop of oil without fighting a fully sealed cartridge. The custom heavy-duty Super Cage holds the steel balls under impact better than a basic retainer, which matters when you slam, slide, and side-load the wheels. Micro-polished races cut friction so the set spins freely on 8mm trucks right out of the tin. Oxidation resistance and corrosion protection help these bearings survive damp sessions better than bare budget steel. Spacers and speed rings are not included, so add a set if your wheels do not already have them. Built to grind, easy to maintain, and priced for riders who burn through bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"cursor: help;\" title=\"What axle size, in mm, will this bearing fit?
