Hey guys I was wondering if no comply lab wheels would work with BrT's?
If not then can I use wheel washers to make them work?

If you put wheel washers, I think it would work. Never had lab wheels on my brts before though so I wouldn't know that well but it has worked for people like that before. Better ask someone for better advise though.

Washers won't work on BRT's. The axle is too small for the hanger so there isn't enough room for a washer to hold the wheel.

Dang alright well thanks for everyone's input looks like I'll be using td lb trucks!

Do Ywheels feel like oak wheels?

So while I was cleaning my wheels the other day, I found that one of my G7 wheels looked really different from the others.

Pics:

Front:

Back:


The one on the left is the weird one, the one on the right is normal.

Any ideas?

Do you know who you got them from?

I got them new from Blackriver, and when I got them they were all perfect.

Weird...

Damn that's wierd. That doesn't really look like any wheel out their on the market, so i think its just a mess-up by Mike?

Hmmm yeah sounds like maybe that 1 in 1000'ths of sets that have a flaw?

Email them. They may give you a new set for free!

looks like you need to shove the bearing back in??????  

The bearing is sticking out a little, but if you look closely, the one on the right looks like it's missing that "wall" to keep the bearing from slipping out. Are you sure the one on the left has the problem?

front pic looks like the bearings missing...  and back pic I can see dual bearings and one sticks out more    ...wtf? either way contact mike or something..looks wonky as fudge.

The left one is a singlebearing wheel with two dual bearings in it.

Yeah that's what I thought... I guess I just lost it somehow?? I guess I'll just contact Mike.

It's either been like that from when you've got them or you've messed something up lmao

Has anyone ordered from Woodywood Fvcker before?? I did a few days ago, still no confirmation of my order and no response to my email as of yet. Just wondering others experiences.

white

the white+ or just white and are you serious? I thought white started to turn brown quickly lol

anybody know any good way to strip the paint from brts cleanly? I ride a set of mellow yellows with wear from normal use and I'd like to strip them so they're just straight silver. any tips?

you could try scratching the paint off with a sharp blade

I'm scared to beat the trucks up underneath or have spots I can't get. I was looking more along the lines of soaking them in something. paint thinner or gasoline perhaps.

I have removed paint from them before , let them soak in some kind of paint thinner to soften up the paint
(I used goof off) then take them out and sand the paint , and if not all wants to come off just soak them again!

Soke them in Aceatone
