When & How to Change Your Skateboard Wheels | Tactics

Wheels aren't really something you think about until you realize you're pushing twice as much and your rolling really slow. When your skateboard wheels get too small or you get a huge flatspot, it's time for some fresh urethane.

Everyone at my park rocked wheels like that when I was a kid lol

i've been learning to skate for a year on a board that a friend set up for me using old parts lying around her house. i've just cruising around getting from point a to point b, haven't learned any tricks yet. finally started looking into upgrading some of the gear and upon googling the wheel brand i discovered that i've been riding on roller skate wheels this whole time 😂

"Every wheel eventually gets flstspots of various degrees" *laughs in formula 4*

working on skateboards for years eventually helped me working on cars later in life. learning to feel threads and if they strip and how much pressure to apply when tightening stuff and dealing with thigs that get seized also what to look for in degrading rubber bushings compared to mounts, belts, and ball joints on a car.

Oh damn I'll keep that in mind to switch my wheels in a crisscross pattern

[gatunosk]

Gosh !! Seen that first wheel took me back to the early 90's when the technical skate was at the top and the wheels started to manufactured small as 35mm as I remember.. then I took dad's drill, put each one of my 55mm Cockroach wheels and against a sandpaper surface we made it to 40's or 38's jajaa the pressure flips and frontside pressures worked soo great that way

[oceantd]

Im dumb i always wondered where people got thin wheels😂

[BigTrip]

Thx! It's been like 15yrs give or take a few since I skated. Just jumped back on the board a month ago and it's a breath of fresh air. I got another pair of bearings I wanted to try out and honestly couldn't remember how to get them off. This came right on time.

[opticluvsu]

Thanks. Tactics, I just got some new reds bearings and I installed them just as you said, and it really helped, they are rolling way better than my old ones😁

[f.ttg]

Always order my stuff from tactics, good stuff 👍
