Well for me it seems my front bearings started to squeak pretty bad after just two runs through loose dirt (albeit extremely loose and fine clay-like powder which can destroy moving mechanical parts with ease) so I don't think they are necessarily fantastic. But with that said, they still allow my wheels to glide freely without any binding. With that said I don't think they are any better or worse than most rubber-sealed bearings available. Might've just been an unlucky circumstance for you
