From what I hear, the boca bearings are amazing.

Get u some hamma. U can get the abec 5s for $18. Well worth it. I have the 5s and 7s and can't tell any difference.

I have stOck bearings in my citica. I cleaned all the grease shimano injects into them and then lightly oiled them with royal purple and archived a 45sec freespool.
