| So yhea I got my Flatface G12 complete yesterday and it game with Black G6 bearing wheels. They were working heavenly yesterday but today they are acting a little funny and they start 'clicking' when riding and I feel slight resistance.
Is there any way I can fix this? Does WD40 help? Thanks. |

| WD 40 is not a lubricant, while yes it seems slippery to the touch, it is actually designed to remove water. It's name WD40 stands for "Water Displacement #40" it is the final product in a whole run of chemicals.. It was the #40 version. It will deteriorate Urethane and other petroleum products, WD40 is not a lubricant and should not be used as one. get some bearing grease or something, If the clicking still doesn't stop contact flatface. |

| I don't have any greases or lubricant; do you think regular kitchen olive oil, or corn oil, etc... would work? Vaseline? Thanks |

| Bones speed cream.. Works wonders dude! Also, I rub my board on a piece of paper in a circular motion to remove the dirt and stuff, it works wicked well. |

| just so you know my Oak wheels i just bought started clicking a lot too. Turns out the bearing in one of the wheels is broken/defective and that's what causes the click. so far it's only gotten worse too.
