Bont 688 bearing adapters fit over your 688 mini bearings so that they can fit into 608 inline wheels. These bearing adapters allow you to use a mini bearing in a wheel that was made for a larger 608 bearing. The benefit of using a mini bearing and an adapter rather than a 608 bearing is that you can create a much lighter set up with better acceleration. This product requires cylinder spaces, not the usual self-centring spacers.

Bont 688 inline skate bearings are the bearing of choice for a number of Team Bont skaters. Quite a lot of skaters want the lightest skate setup they can possibly achieve and mini bearings can save 12 grams per bearing. On a 4-wheel inline speed skate, that is a saving of 88grams when you factor in the 1 gram spacer on each bearing. On a 3-wheel inline skate, it is a saving of 66 grams when you include the spacer.
