Well, I can go on for pages on ABEC crap and fraudulent claims. But I seriously think that Bones REDS is more worth it. But if you are low on cash, the first choice will do.
The damn shop is WAY overpricing them for what they should cost. The Bones REDS I mean. It should be around £10. But the main and important characteristics you should look for is a non-mettalic ball cage.
It is the thing holding the balls apart.

It prodces less friction and is less prone to overheating.

This on the other hand, is directly the opposite and is mostly Made in China

just go with the bones reds sure the abec-9 nines might be fast and all its all about how much it can take which bones can take alot of impact adn so forth. hte abec-9s look like they would bust easliy probally. metal cages suck in my opinon i only skate bearings the the crown like bones reds and lucky and so forth.

bearings are bearings, hell ill even skate walmart board bearings as long as they go at a decent speed.Oh, wait my board DOES have walmart bearings in them and they go pretty fast and they have lasted me longer then my reds did.
Probably a dumb thing to say but i'm not kidding...
