Overview
Better Bearings are the highest quality and toughest skate bearings in the market. The brand is an absolute favorite for outdoor skating, for long term use by passionate skaters or as extra sets.
Lickety Splits are easy to clean, super reliable, true and tested ABEC 9 bearings, designed with affordable prices in mind but still have excellent long-lasting performance. All Better Bearings are pre lubed and have replaceable rubber shields.
The high quality bearings are extremely hard wearing and will last a really long time for how rough you will treat them. They have been designed by keeping in mind the fact that the riders won't be really looking after them.
A purchase from Better Bearings helps to support the world’s largest movement for gender equality, ensuring that women and girls are safe from violence and free to have choice and opportunity.
Highlights:
- New rust-resistant race on both high precision deep groove races.
- Stunning oil slick look
- New improved faster spin
- Easy to maintain - because of non-contact removable and replaceable rubber shields.
- Twice inspected, pre-lubed and pre-spun.
- Non-corrosive Delrin retainers which cradle hard anodized chrome steel balls. Chrome steel bearing balls are stronger, faster and smoother rolling.
- Heat-treated chrome steel inner and outer races and non-corrosive nylon retainer
- The packaging is made from recycled / biodegradable material.
Features
HIGHLY RATED & HARD WEARING: Every bearing in the Better Bearings range is now an ABEC 9 classification. Lickety Splits are easy to clean, super reliable choice for long term use. ABEC ratings are an industry standard with the higher the number the more speed it gives skaters. Better Bearings choose highly rated bearings for the level of attention and quality that is received during the design and manufacturing.
BREAKING BAD: Better Bearings are pre-spun during the quality testing phase at the factory, however (like all bearings), they're not going to spin fast and free right out of the packaging, because they're packed pre-lubed to protect them while waiting for you to give them a new home.
SPACERS AND SIDELOADING: Sideloading is when all the pressure is put on one side of the bearings, which slightly changes where the ball bearings and the race surface touch and the axis of the bearing. Better Bearings only use the hardest wearing materials in order to deal with this issue. Using spacers can help the structural integrity of the setup, however, there were no issues in testing them without spacers.
TWICE INSPECTED & STAKER TESTED: Better Bearings are inspected twice. Once before the bearings leave the factory and once the package are handed over. Pro Skaters were asked to the test the bearings, by skating them and treating them like riders usually do. The test team comes from all over Australia. They train on nice floors, dirty floors and outdoors. They went to the skate park, rolled through beer and glitter and played a lot.
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY PRODUCTION & CHARITY: The bearing packaging and tough nuts box is made from 100% recycled paper and is biodegradable and the cleaning products are environmentally safe. The bearing packing is made from recyclable cardboard, the order packaging for wholesale is repurposed boxes and packaging. The bearing wash is drain friendly. Brand also is highly conscious about giving back, where in a percentage of the proceeds from sales goes to UN Women Australia.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things.
It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic.
I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together.
I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray.
Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know.
PRO:
* Very likable characters
* Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well
* The spelling and grammar are good
* The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens.
CON:
* Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack
* Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done
* Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order
THINGS TO KNOW:
* More steamy scenes than storytelling
* A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons.
A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good.
B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy.
Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”??
Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer.
Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s
Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward.
Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud
Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
