| FML. One of the bearings on my g7.1 b robbys blew up, blew the nut off the end of the truck (using them on my td wides).. I spent ages trying to find the bearing only to realise that there was bits of the bearing stuck in the wheel and the rest, is lost on my floor somewhere >_< what do you guys reckon I can do? Email flatface about it? Or do you think seems as I've used them for ages they'll not be covered any more and it'll just be covered as use wear? (I mean, skateboard bearings far from last forever and I have used these wheels outside many times..)
anyone got any spare dual bearings/know where I can get just one, cheap?
So much for g7.1s being a lifetime investment. Bah. Cant wait til my g12 is here and I can use my brrs + substances. |

| depends how long you've had them and how much use you've had out of them i guess.....if they are under 3 months old, i might complain, but anything after that is down to wear i guess....you could be cheeky and email mike about it, but he wont answer you.....and id feel bad asking for a new bearing if id cained them i dont have any spare dual bearings neither |

And yea, I know about ytrucks but thats proper expensive. Anyone know if todd sells dual bearings ever? I know he does single bearings in the tuning section of his site, but what about duals? |

| Why you lookin at me Alas, I dont have any spare duals...I put my spare set in my quarts whet they were shot...But it looks like Mrs. FlatFace is gonna take care of ya. And for future reference, I havent found anywhere besides y trucks that has the dual bearings...and I havent found a sourcing for that small of a bearing either. Now if you needed a single bearing, I have like 7 extras |
