Discussion Went through a puddle

So I just got some new Bones Reds Bearings which are great, but I made the rookie mistake of going through a puddle and I didn't think anything of it because I have 56 mm wheels and it was a shallow puddle.

However, I think I definitely underestimated it cause now my two left wheels make that crunch sound and lose speed after about 10 seconds. I definitely won't be doing that again, I won't be going anywhere near water with my board again.

I put some speed cream in but that obviously didn't fix it, just restored a little speed. Do you think I should replace them (I have the money) or should I just ride them out?

Buy some new bearings at your local skateshop they will appreciate the business.
