Does anyone know anywhere that sells clear brt wheels still? Or like those clearish substance wheels

anyone knows how can i try to use my g6s in a brt?

micro washers ^^

how can microwashers help?

i guess what he wanted to say is, that microwashers prevent your wheels getting stuck on the hangar.

yeah but my axle pin moves

how do you put moving gif(s) in your signature?

thx

Substance wheels haven't been in production for a good couple of years now :/ the last set of Substance wheels I had were dual bearing and clear, so they aren't too hard to track down. There is a way to make dual bearing wheels usable on BRTs just by taking one of the bearings out, but if you wanted real BRT edition wheels you'd have to look around for the Flatface G5's that everyone loved for a while. Idk who has a set but I'm sure you'd easily be able to pick up a set from someone on the forum.

I think you could use regular nuts (in replacement of locknuts) and tighten the nuts until the wheel spins still and is stuck on the hanger, and then put a dab of super glue onto the tip of the axle and over the nut, and let it sit for a good few minutes before using it. Usually works pretty well. It isn't that the wheels are going to get stuck if you use them on the trucks, it's just that the locknuts don't give you enough wheels to put them on because the whole in the back of the wheels is too small to fit over the hanger and let it spin freely.

So I have winklers, what wheels will give me more grip ? Oaks and y wheels is all I can think of and would anyone recommend y wheels ?

Compared to FF wheels Winklers are hella grippy for their type of material. Oaks grip to everything, I fb on glass and they can turn and stuff and never slide, can't speak for Y wheels though.

this may be a dumb question but does anyone have a list of companies with china decks?

like I know broken knuckle or whatever


also, aren't bollie trucks china too? they look pretty chinese to me and for $12 or however much they are that's a little retarded

Star fingerboards, FBUK, 4 corner, God Fingerboards....

I know that Gator Fingerboards, despite selling their own line of molds, sells china import decks and standard china trucks. Broken Knuckle is at least up front about their P-Rep line (aka "people's republic of china").

And from everything I've seen or bought there's only a few actual companies that make their own trucks:
-Black River
-Y Trucks
-Tech Deck
-Woody Wood Fvckers (no longer in business)
-Planktoon (also Indonesia, do not look like china trucks)

Pretty much everything else is a china wide possibly with a modification, with Bollie and Dump Trucks being the most popular two rebrandings.

This sticky topic has a lot of good truck information: http://www.fingerboardhq.net/t7646-what-the-truck-xi-s-reference-table-of-fingerboard-trucks

Do oak wheels have a proper front and back? Possible dumb question

Well, there is a front and a back, but you can put them on either way.
I think that's the answer you were looking for?

You can put them on either way and it's the same? Just seems like the bearings are right in the middle

I don't know about the newer oaks, but I know that with older oaks people would put them on both ways

the newer Oaks are more roundet on the backside. but they also fit both ways theoretical.

Any idea where to get this bench?





Looks so gnarly.

It's a Blosom Bench: http://www.blosom.co.uk/benches.html

But seems like it's out of stock...

Dammit... They currently seem to be a inactive company. Anyway thank you for help, kThumb.

its offset.. meaning the bearing is slightly off center.. flipped one way they cover the nut and axel of brts and flipped the other way the nut and axel sticks out a bit.

not a dumb question.. just takes some observation if you own oaks.
