This Gadget Will Make You Skate Faster 

If you are one of the minority of viewers experiencing low volume, apologies. This appears to be an issue with RU-vid and we’re not sure why it only happens for a few viewers. Crank up the volume! ...oh, and another thing. I probably should have mentioned that the depth of the core in wheels is likely to vary with every single wheel you measure, because they are made of plastic which expands/contracts during and after manufacturing. This is why the spacermeter is useful; so you can measure every wheel individually (ie we cant measure a bunch of wheels and then make a table showing the wheel core sizes because they will always vary)

I’ve been skating for 28yrs and had no idea skating could get this nerdy 😂😂😂 love it

You could actually measure the depth of the space inside the wheel with the calipers. Just use the other side. If you hold them on the wheel and then push down until the bit that sticks out touches the bearing, you successfully measured the same thing as with this tool. You just have to subtract the thickness of the bearing that comes on top and you know exactly how long the spacer needs to be.

You should make all the different spacer sizes then show the “these wheels work with these spacers” bit on your site? I would happily spend a few extra quid when buying new wheels each time for optimal speed 💨

This can really save me some sleep at night because my OCD is killing me with all the mix matching different wheels and bearings. I drive myself mad.

@LocoSkates Wicked Adjustable spacers - these are neat solution ✌️ one set of these work with my setups with all kinds wheels I can imagine for 2yrs now already. Clicking was a nightmare and most common issue I had before I bought them.

Think I may need this. I spent a lot of time swearing at my skates the other day getting bearings out and back into some metal core wheels and trying to adjust adjustable spacers...only to end up making the spacer too big or too small 😂

That explained so much !! I Always have this kind of troubles with wheels. No geeky enough for 90 £ though

Wicked used to (might still do) sell adjustable spacers. They were always really good!

Would love if you made a table that had the actual lengths for common brands of wheels and spacers so at least we can get it close. Those sub-mil differences between Dead and Euology, etc kills bearings and wheels so fast.

I have a clicking problem in my dead wheels but the funny thing is I use dead spacers which you would think would be perfect

I don't use spacers anymore due to being fed up of trying to find working combos. But bearing shear is a thing - and I know I've got to have my axle nuts (on quads) looser than they should be.

I've been using this, it's a good way to solve the problem of wheel spinning issue in most of the time. But still, should consider the tolerance about the length between the axle decks of both frame walls.😉

nice and nerdy, thanks! To be honest, the main thing that will make me go faster, is bigger leg muscles!

I have callipers in my skate tool arsenal, the storage box for them has a loco sticker on it 😂 I’m ALL about this haha

Cool tool. I’ve always used digital calipers as can measure depth. Had to put calipers on the ridge inside wheel where bearings presses onto then measure to other bearing in wheel, but that tool makes it a lot easier. Have the wicked adjustable spacers but had ti put thread lock on them as they loosened in wheels.

can't you measure that with the end of the caliper? kinda seems you could

Everyone should be riding Dead Wheels with Dead Spacers

Dam this solved my issue lol

You geniuses 🤩

I am skating MB 110mm wheels with your 6 ball revolver bearings and they have been clicking all the time. I wouldn’t mind to buy the next set of MB wheels with the right bearings/spacers combo next time :)

y cant u just use the needle end of the calipers?

Very useful thanks,speaking my language

Then you need a lathe to make the spacers, Ive got wheels that are 7.2 nowhere in the UK sells spacers this precise!

I have question, So all my wheels spin freely before tightening the screws. And when I tighten them up, 3 out of 4 wheels don’t spin freely and make metallic noise (but the bottom thing is made from polyester). So should I keep the screws less tight, not like tightest?

You guys used to sell Lazer spacers which I found to work really well in airwaves wheels but you don’t sell them anymore 😢

Wouldn’t have to do this if all wheels, bearings, and spacers were same standardized width. Cool tool though! Run into this issue all the time

Are loci skates going to start ‘recommending’ spacers for the wheels you sell?

Sometimes frames comes with spaces and it doesn't make sense, should be the wheel what comes wiht it, right?

It's already sold out and this was posted 9 hours ago

Do you sell this?

That's a bugger. I will you had had them in when I was at loco

Or get bearings with built in spacers

Could you make the vids louder plz?

Yea sure if got so many inlines skates, I'm a just 1 inlines skater So the size came into just 1 to focus .ha..anyway njoy it bra.cuz I can see u really got ur birthday present sort of ..ha4..Peace!

Aaaaaaanddd it's sold out 😂😢

you've waited two decades for someone to re-invent calipers?
