Re: Better yet, K2 will send you 608 spacers for... FREE!

If you bought the 2003 model of the K2 LT then you have the 688 micro
bearings.  The older years models had the 698 bearings. The 688 bearings
are excellent bearings and there is no reason why they need to be changed.

PS; I think you will be keeping the Xcelerators as most stores will not
provide a refund once you've used the skates on the road.
