Checking and
Setting up your board
Before riding, take the time to learn how the components of
a skateboard should be set up and checked.
Always check for correctly fastened components and damage.
Do not ride a board with loose, broken or cracked components.
Make sure your griptape is secure.
Make sure your board is suitable for your size and weight.
Set up your board to suit your weight and ensure there is no wheel-bite.
Wheel-bite is when the wheels rub against the deck when leaning - it can stop
your board and cause you to fall. Wheel-bite can happen if your trucks are too
loose. You might choose to fit harder bushings. You might want to fit riser
pads. If riser pads are added, make sure your bolts are long enough to fit
correctly.
Wheels and bearings
You have two bearings per wheel, larger wheels may have a
spacer between the bearings. Washers known as speed rings are fitted on the
outside edges of your bearings, two per wheel. One is near the truck, one is
near the wheel nut.
Bearings can be gently removed from a wheel using a bearing
press tool. Do not hit the bearings to remove them – you will damage them.
New bearings will be coated with a thick and sticky factory grease. Learn how to clean your bearings and apply speed cream, and do this whenever needed.
When you refit a wheel, ensure all of the necessary components are present and in good order. Do up the wheel nut to full tightness and then ease of a quarter of a turn at a time only, until your wheel spins fast. Make sure you can see threaded bar protruding at least 3mm through your wheel nut, and that the nylon locking mechanism of your nut is stopping the nuts from undoing during use. Wheel nuts must be replaced if the nylon inside is wearing out.
Squeaking when
riding or turning
This is perfectly normal. The squeaking usually comes from
the pivot cup in your trucks. It is the insert in between the hangar and the
baseplate. Quick fixes for the squeak can be; cleaning the pivot cup, or
inserting a small amount of paraffin wax shavings, or soap into the pivot cup –
this reduces the friction and can stop the squeak.
The 14 day Inspection
period
If during the Inspection Period (within 14 days of receipt of the Goods), the
Goods are found to be defective, you must inform us within the Inspection
Period of such defect. We will arrange for collection of such Goods or ask you

If all four wheels do not touch

deck may be warped, in which case it will need returning in unused condition.
