Trucks and Fins aw man that’s too bad it wasn’t before you went at it! Next time it will be a piece of cake for you! Glad you found it helpful!!

Awesome glad to hear that! No prob!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Reniel Manalo thank you! I’m glad to hear it was helpful to you!! When I first uploaded it, I shared it to a forum and they were a bunch of trolls and gave it thumbs down so it screwed it up from being viewed more. I appreciate you saying it was good! Made it to be as helpful as possible!

Sure thing! Glad it helped!

@@XSProgression it helped me a lot👍👍👍👍

Glad to hear it was helpful! Yeahh I shared it to a hateful forum board and they trolled me about it and gave dislikes 🤷‍♂️ at least it’s still reaching people who can benefit! 🤙🤙

@@XSProgression that’s sad but it helped a ton of ppl thank you 🙏

@@kolton8876 🙏

No prob! Glad it was helpful!

Awesome man glad it helped!

Lmao it’s actually the view of what the GoPro was filming so I could make sure I was in frame 😂 so I guess in a way I was watch a video on how to set up wheels... it was this video.. as it was being filmed. Videoception 🤯😂 thanks man glad you like them!

No prob!

Awesome congrats on building your first skateboard! Very glad to hear this was helpful to you!

No problem! Hope it serves helpful for when the time comes!

You should really push them in as far as they’ll go!

They usually come with your trucks, so you can try contacting the company of trucks you have and see if they'll send you some. Alternatively, you could grab some off amazon, like this listing, or one similar: amzn.to/3ohELKW Hope that helps!

Had to include everything I could!

Hey that should be the trucks that should be a bit looser (the big metal things holding the wheels). Loosen the nut in the middle just a little bit so the trucks can move. Then try leaning while riding to turn! Hope that helps!

@@XSProgression thanks brother 👍🏻 I'll try that.

@@PankajKumar-ji1ig let me know how it goes

@@XSProgression sure brother.

Hmm odd. Maybe it doesnt work like that always. Interesting. Id have to see it. Anyway, welcome back to skateboarding!

I just adjusted them to where they should be and spin freely and no problem so that's all that matters in the end. Thanks!

Usually they don’t unfortunately

Victoria Diaz thanks so much babe! I love you ♥️♥️😘😘

Happy to hear it! No prob

I would say it’s worth it. Take them all out and tighten the nuts until it’s almost pinching the wheel. Make sure it’s not too tight that the wheels barely spin and you’re good

I got the bone Swiss bearings I only got one defective Spacer I am waiting for the company to send me a few It's a bummer but I can wait I guess

@@codybmx6150 yeah bummer but at least they’re sending you some

I just realized i has a typo earlier. I would say it ISNT worth it. They will still work without the spacers

I can't wait

Yes

Douglas Thompson whats up Doug? Usually bearings have shields on both sides and that is to “keep the dirt from getting in” but sometimes it results in keeping the dirt stuck once it does get in lol. The company that makes these bearings designed them so the inside has a shield that really is just keeping the balls inside together and the theory behind it is that dirt will easily be able to come back out of them. Looks pretty sick shieldless too in my opinion and they’re definitely working nicely compared to ones I’ve had before

@@XSProgression I know skateboarding is a whole different beast so I knew there would be logic behind what you were doing. I knew guys that skated and removed the grease/oil from new bearings to make them spin better. Im sure you wouldnt want to ride in wet weather like that but I think bearings are more of a consumable item with skateboards than they are for bikes. Am I correct? Those wheels are strange, are they aluminum core or something?

Douglas Thompson oh wow that’s interesting. I haven’t heard of removing the oil. I wonder if it made a difference. Yeah the rain is definitely not where you wanna be on a skateboard. Rust is a factor, but more of an issue is getting the board waterlogged! Bearings actually last a pretty long time if you keep them from being wet too much. I’d say around 1-3 years. Possibly longer if maintained and cleaned. We go through new decks faster than anything else on the skateboard. I’m not sure if that’s longer than with a bike.. I’m still so new to the bmx world and need to learn about a lot of that stuff! I actually am curious if there is a best bike maintenance and cleaning practice for my bike if you know of any. Thanks for checking this out being a BMX guy!! Yeah both the wheels and bearings are unique on this one too hahah. The “core” of the wheels I’m using is actually made out of plastic and the rest is urethane which is what wheels are normally fully made of. Reason for the plastic is to reduce weight but keeps strength. Ricta (the brand) has been doing it for a while and they’re becoming a popular choice

@@XSProgression I think the idea was the oil/grease was causing drag. 1-3 years is much longer than I thought they lasted for skaters. I definitely see little chunks of decks more frequently than I see bearings. Its funny how there are so many worlds on the same planet. Im new on the bike too kinda, I just always love learning about tech and maintenance stuff.

Douglas Thompson haha I know what you mean. So many different interests and communities, it’s crazy. So after seeing this how to, do you think you’d be able to set up new wheels on a skateboard?

The bearings I used in this video are made shieldless. I would put yours in with the shields facing out, but some people pop them off. It becomes a personal preference! For now, I’d just face them out unless you wanna experiment

@@XSProgression wow thank you i was not expecting you to help me cause this video is 2 years old but here you are 👍thank you

@@Fellowhuman2004 still active and don’t plan on stopping! Glad to have helped 👍

If you cant get an extra one, you should be fine putting the wheel on without it. Just make sure you don't tighten the nut too tight and you should be good 👍

@@XSProgression thanks so much

Hahah thanks man

Did you just put them on fresh?

@@XSProgression yes theyre brand new

@@XSProgression the whole setup is

@@ajax8700 Check to see if you tightened the nuts too tight on any and its making them stop spinning. If its just that some stop minorly faster than others (but still spin for a good while), then that can be normal. Let me know if loosening the nut a little on the slow ones helps

@@XSProgression well im not at home rn im on vacation but ill be home in like 2 weeks thank you tho bro u hella friendly keep doing what you do ur awesome

Where did you get it from? Have you tried loosening the nut a little so the wheels aren’t squished to the truck?

@@kashy6616 if you’ve loosened the wheels a little and it still is giving you a problem, I would take it back to the store. Are you able to still return it?

Hahah 🤷‍♂️⚽️

Raidzz you cooould tighten them up so they kinda pinch a bit and won’t move much.. however that can be damaging to your bearings and not the best idea. So I honestly recommend just to focus on pushing slower until you get more comfortable and can go faster. It’ll help you much more in the long run to just keep practicing and working your way up to skating faster! Hope that helps!

@@XSProgression thanks. because i’m trying to get back into skating because i haven’t in a few years. when i tried it out i could not keep my balance on the board at all, and i thought that it was due to my wheels being able to spin by me barely touching it

@@raidzz1992 just keep riding it and the more you do, the more comfortable you will feel on the board! Welcome back to skating! Have fun!

Haha it just looks it cause it was so worn down I guess. Pretty sure that was 8.125
