ABEC isn't the only way to rate skateboard bearings, by the way. There is also the International Standards Organization (ISO) system and the [German National Standards Organization (DIN) system. Here is a chart to help you compare: 

ABEC 1 = ISO 0 (or "normal") = DIN P0 

ABEC 3 = ISO Class 6 = DIN P6 

ABEC 5 = ISO Class 5 = DIN P5 

ABEC 11 = ISO Class 4 = DIN P4 

ABEC 9 = ISO Class 2 = DIN P2

It's important to mention that not all skateboard bearings even use the ABEC rating system. Rockets, Ballistech Missiles and Bones Bearings all use their own systems to rate their bearings. This might seem fishy, but it's actually a very good thing. Most bearings used in skateboards were never designed with skateboarding in mind! These companies have developed and built their bearings specifically for skateboards, and they get a lot of respect in the skateboard community because of this.

I hope this explains what [abec 11 bearings] means, and that you now have a better understanding. If you have any questions that weren't covered here, please feel free to write me and ask!

Ceramic Orange Seal Fishing Reel bearing four packs are an upgrade replacement to stock fishing reel bearings. These ABEC 11 bearings have ceramic balls with stainless steel races and retainers. Orange Seal bearings have a non-contact rubber seal which allows the bearing to spin freely with out any excess drag. Ceramic will never corrode; it has less rolling resistance and is lighter and than steel. As a result ceramic bearings last longer and cast longer. All Ceramic Orange Seal fishing reel skf bearings are supplied lube dry (LD), no grease or oil. Lube can be supplied upon request.
