Are the bearings user-serviceable? Can they be adjusted & lubed? Thanks.

Honestly I am not sure. I haven't ever tried to service my set but then again I haven't needed to either. Sorry if this is of no help

Sure but the bearing are very small. Maybe not worth the hassle and just replace the pedal if that becomes an issue.

Yes, you can access the bearings for lubrication, as seen in the pictures. I think you could control the tightness of bearings by controlling the tightness of the pedal on the spindle.

what are bushings are those terms for bearings if so what bearings are they and what brand gloves should I get

I had bad luck with bones reds, had to return them twice because of some grinding issue, then got some super reds worked perfectly and runs extremely smooth especially if you clean and lube them on occasion. If you would want to go the cheaper route you have the possibility of getting a few bad bearings vs paying a little more getting better quality. as for which ones last longer I do not know.

Not sure to be honest. I switched them out with Bone Swiss bearings as soon as I got it. However I wouldn't doubt that the stock bearings it comes with aren't terrible.

They're decent. I didn't get to use it but I can tell they get dirty easily. The bearings are decent as well.

I don't think they are. You have to install the zero fittings, and I don't recall seeing any grease . I greased mine after they were on the car to ensure they were properly lubed.Additionally, it is not a sealed joint, meaning periodic lube is required.

They are sealed bearings no grease fitting, they usually last a year as long as you don't hit things. Reply bearings are cheap and easy to instal, I broke my hub so I had to by all new

Yeah they'll fit inline, you must be rich though, these are nine times as expensive as most bearings. I use for downhill longboarding, best bearings on planet earth.

sealed bearings are just that, sealed, they can not be greased, and the seal keeps the grease in and imperfections out, when you think they make a noise, replacement is in order, good luck, Dick

Yes. Internal bearing seemed to be of good quality. Overall, mounts work great. Although my old mounts appeared normal, I went ahead and replaced it anyway.

Yes you can adjust them how you like. I broke one of mine after using it only a couple times and i got ahold of allen sports and they sent a free replacement.

Actually, the bearings are very good. The quality of the entire thing is good. My son rides it constantly & he's never had any problems with it.

We used some Kendall utility oil that my husband has had for a long time and put a little bit on each of the bearings. Worked very well. I imagine any kind of general purpose oil would work....like sewing machine oil.

I definitely think you should repack the bearing... I was able to repack it in just a few minutes. Just be careful when removing them. You don't want to damage them. I believe you would have to pull the shaft if you have to replace them. Make sure you use high quality grease that can withstand high temps.

I do not believe they would support the claimed weight that way. There is only a rolled metal lip holding the bearings in. Like one of the other reviewers said, they are cheap and might hold light work. I would not want to stand underneath to test it though.

I strongly disagree with the WD-40/dry-lube solution as that would likely catch more dust and debris than leaving the bearings dry. Just cleaning them should be sufficient, if one seems to be catching, rotate them using a pencil eraser to loosen any debris that make be under them. This worked well for me for many years with the old style Trackman (I'm about to replace it) and I say this as a computer tech with 30 years experience.
