Thread: My wheels turn...

  1. #1

    Default My wheels turn...

    So recently i got the new green Create Originals frame.
    So i jammed together an setup and went out to skate.
    But almost just as i started skating i felt my left skate turning by itself, so i take of my skate and look at my wheel, and it's anything but straight. found out that the holes are wrong placed, Any idea of how to fix?

    Don't know if u can really see in the pics but:

    This is surprisingly common and it sucks. Call up CO.

    Found a sulution to the problem, the wheel is now straigth.
    I just used my benchgrinder and cut a little bit of the axels so they would get into the hole.
    It really works actually, and i haven't had any problems yet.

    That is a horrible idea that will probably lead to killing your wheel fast. That will shift around while skating and that is bad.

    not to mention you have weakened your axle.

    Should work fine if you can put a tiny wedge in there to keep it in place.
    But call CO. You're risking your frame when you don't have to.

    First i broke one of my frames, sent a mail to CO asking for new ones, but they said they didn't have any frames in stock for 2-3 months.
    So i had to buy new ones, and now this has happened, it sucks...
