The Set-up Thread

[ok boomer]

I was kind of joking on my way out the door to my wife:
"Does this look like a rectangle?"
she said "yeah"... which triggered my anxiety.
I feel like it could be fun for certain aspects of skating but probably will still mostly roll 7.75

I was looking at those butcher decks but I don't think I've seen them for sale in the US. Do you know what woodshop it is?

I know Familia carries them. Check their site if they still have some

DOA Flat 7.5 deck. With jessup.

Loophole 53s shrank down to 51s by now.

Wow

Where can I find one of these they're sold out on their site

Dog just ordered one of these to the EU with some creative shipping. So fucking excited.

What's the wheelbase on this puppy?

Can I please get the specs on that Orchard eggy? I skate their shop popsicles typically, but if they drop that shape again I might give it a shot.

Not sure if this is the best thread for this question but here goes...

I put new Bones Swiss bearings into old wheels and on old trucks yesterday and one of the wheels is making a noise that is driving me crazy. It's a like a rotational/rhythmic vibrating noise when I spin it. I took the bearings out and put them back in a few times and still there.

Any ideas?

Balls within the bearings might have an imperfection (flatspot,scratch, or dent) that you hear when it rubs against the cage as it rolls. My swiss 6 have made that sound before (kinda like a real low pitch hemi.)

Thanks man, yeah that would make sense. Especially since they are right out of the package.

Fake swiss?

[Seventyfrigginseven]

After bashing crailtap wood in a different thread I ironacally found this in my basement (must of hid it from myself to avoid the inevitable heartbreak). One quick lunchtime session in and no pressure cracks  I used to run Ventures on my Loveseats but Indys are way better imo.

i like it. i kinda got a thing for feet.

If they're brand new, they shouldn't be dented or anything - maybe one of them isn't seated all the way in - if you have the spacers in, just crank the axle nuts down to make sure the bearings are pressed in, then loosen them a 1/4 turn - this has also caused that issue for me in the past.

[moonordie]

Just put together a second smaller setup:
- Sunrise square shape 8.375
- Sunrise griptape
- Thunder 1"
- Ace 44
- Insomnio full conical wheels 54x36x23
- Big balls
Super stoked.

Just skated this (pink bottom ply) on Venture Hollow 5.6s. Had a blast, just ordered another FA with the same shape.

Similar thing happened to me recently when I got my Swiss 6. Turned out I had bent my front, toeside axle.
