Mixing Bearings

Hi, I realize this is dumb, but I only have 4 abec 7's and the rest crappy 5's, is it worthwhile using the 4 7's that I have or just stick to the full set of 5's?

Thanks

less resistance = more speed, so if your abec 7'a are working and spinning fast, it will be worth your while.

if you are wanting to go super fast, buy a whole new set, and use that.

Bearings are shit... Make not one iota of difference.

Real men ride on core... If you don't fancy doing this I recommend getting a full set of the same bearings. If you ride with odd bearings it adds heavily to wheel wear. OH NO!
