Bearing Sampler Pack
$11.49 USD
$11.49 USD
Compare different R188 bearing styles without committing to a full 3-pack of each. Choose a sampler configuration and try multiple Spinetic bearings side by side.
Launch Trio includes 1 each:
- S Class — SS10 Shielded
- H Class — Si3N4 10 / Steel
- H Class — Si3N4 10 / Nylon
The R188 Bearing Sampler Pack is designed for comparing different bearing constructions, materials, and characteristics in your own spinner.
Bearing preference can be highly personal. A quiet stainless bearing may feel completely different from a ceramic hybrid with more audible or tactile character, and the same bearing can behave differently depending on the spinner in which it is installed.
Sampler packs make it easy to compare several Spinetic bearing options without purchasing a full pack of each.
Launch Trio
The initial sampler includes one of each bearing in our launch lineup:
- S Class — SS10 Shielded
Quiet, smooth, and low feedback with minimal bearing play. - H Class — Si3N4 10 / Nylon
A quieter hybrid with a smooth spin and distinct ceramic feedback. - H Class — Si3N4 10 / Steel
A louder, more expressive hybrid ceramic bearing with a smooth but lively character.
- S Class — SS10 Shielded
Launch Trio:
Bearing Class Construction Qty S Class — SS10 Shielded Stainless Steel 10-ball stainless steel, shielded 1 H Class — Si3N4 10 / Nylon Hybrid Ceramic Si3N4 ceramic balls, nylon cage 1 H Class — Si3N4 10 / Steel Hybrid Ceramic Si3N4 ceramic balls, steel cage 1 Total: 3 R188 bearings

Sound, feedback, and bearing play may vary slightly between individual bearings and spinner configurations.
Installing Your R188 Bearing
Test-fit the bearing before installation. R188 bearing pockets and retention systems can vary between spinner designs, so never force a bearing into a pocket that feels unusually tight.
Make sure the bearing seat is clean and free of debris or old adhesive before installing a new bearing. If your spinner requires adhesive to retain the bearing, use only a small amount and keep adhesive away from the bearing internals.
When removing a bearing, apply pressure as evenly as possible. A proper R188 bearing removal tool can make bearing swaps easier and reduce the chance of damaging the bearing or spinner.
Cleaning
If performance changes over time, contamination may be the cause. Dust, oils, and other debris can affect the sound and feel of an R188 bearing.
Bearing Notes: Sound, feedback, and bearing play can vary slightly between individual bearings and may feel different depending on the spinner in which they are installed. Spinetic’s characteristic ratings are intended as general comparisons within our bearing lineup, not precise mechanical measurements.
Bearings are mechanical wear items and may require periodic cleaning or maintenance. Always inspect and test-fit a bearing before installation.
