Hey guys, so here is a video where I show how to clean a penny board. Follow these steps and you will have a nice maintained board. Hope you enjoy! Penny Board: 22" BLUE WHITE RED Camera: Nikon D7100 Objektiv: Nikkor 16-85mm
My penny board was really getting dirty so this was an amazing video to help me because I ride mine every day and I don't want to ruin it by griming up my bearings with dirt and rusting shut the bushings and connections. Thank you so much!
Dude if your going to clean the bearings, use liquid soap; buy a bones bearing cleaner and bones speed cream at your local skate shop. Its stupid that you clean the wheels, they WILL get dirty...
21 RB if you have a penny board your gonna cruise the shit out the bearings and later on the insides of the wheels and the spacer will get as dirty as the bearings,if you don't clean them your cleaned bearing can get dirty due to the grim and dirty inside the wheel and spacers
To clean my bearings, I personally like to use baby oil or skateboard lube. I just use baby oil since it was something i already had but what I do is i put all my bearings in a ziploc bag, then pour some baby oil in the bag, then I kinda mix the bearings in the bag, then take one bearing out one at a time and use a wire toothbrush to clean out all the rocks and dirt. Then wipe the excess baby oil off the bearing with a tissue. (Btw I got this tip from Chris Chann)
cindi janak you can try and clean them with a piece of cloth or you can try baby oil (not sure about this one but I think it works. definitely confirm first tho). if they still don't roll well after that then you should probably get new bearings
I think my bearing broke. something went missing, and you can some see little ball thingies on the inside and i have no idea what to do, like buy a new bearing or just keep riding it like that. any advice?
+Elias Rascon No they're completely fine. You just accidentally popped the shield off. You risk your bearing exploding which isn't really that big of a deal. Happens all the time. You can buy new bearings if you want. Bones Reds are fairly cheap ($15ish) and work just fine. I've been riding Reds for about 10 years on and off and they've been pretty good. Long story short, they're fine.
hi, i have a question: i ordered a custom penny board with red deck but they sent a one with a black deck, now im willing to buy a seperate red deck and my question is: can you change/replace the deck easily?
It wont hurt the board, but it will cause friction with the wheel and the truck/nut. Place the one washer you have closest to the deck to prevent some of the friction from occuring.
The deck doesn't need to be cleaned because there will be know harm to the pennyboards mechanism so really all you have to do is clean the mechanism from breaking so it functions
I was wondering it you needed lubrication for the pennyboard. I was riding my board and I noticed that it was squeaking. Is it because water got into the board?
Maybe just your trucks or brushings because I'm sure all penny boards squeak a little bit but if it's loud take your board apart and clean it. If it keeps on squeaking then it might be your bearings/wheels. :)
The closest thing you could do to the wheels without taking them off is just taking dirt off the cover of the bearing and making the sides cleaner with a wet cloth
personally i dont do anything to the whole bolts and washers or the trucks. i literally just started pennying at the beginning of june and i just get a toothbrush and scrub scrub scrub until im too lazy to clean anymore. poof it looks clean enough.
My advice, you start actually taking your board apart and cleaning it that way. Because if you just clean the outside, then riding it will become more gritty and rusty and that's not good. Also make sure you NEVER get water on your bearings. Because that will make them rusty and break them completely.
You should of taken the trucks of completely and left the deck to soak, thats what I did to get my deck clean :) PS Never soak a trick board deck! only soak the deck if it is entirely plastic and has no griptape!
It depends if u want a proper original penny, then you should look on Amazon. If you don't really care about originality, go on eBay or a Department Store
how much does a penny board cost? i am planning to buy another one cause my first one is just a gift from a friend.... i don't have any idea how much it cost
uhm, if the deck is white it'll become brown and or grey very soon, I had a white one and I had to clean it very often but if the deck is black that's perfect
