When & How to Change Your Skateboard Wheels | Tactics 

nectar I did, it brought back memories when I first started going to my old local park seeing all the other kids with worn down wheels like this

not wrong my friend, I've been skating for 15 years and i've never seen wheels that small. felt like i got click baited

I needed to know if they were real but no I have seen kids with tiny wheels like me lol

Yup

Haha definitely

camcane1 🤣🤣🤣🤣

i was gunna put i watched this cuz i connected with the thumbnail pic haha

Not gonna lie I just watch these videos because I get the high of putting on new wheels without actually buying new wheels. Real talk

Same but I never thought of rotating them diagonally, I always just rotated them in a circle. That's actually helpful.

@@tby8323 Nope, your bearings will be just fine!

Where can you find good wheels and how do you know if they are a good fit for you??? Please answer me I would really appreciate it. Thank you

skin19head69 Lmaoooo

What?

Yes

I to use Formula Fours ONLY now, and very much appreciated your joke! So true, NO FLAT SPOTS EVER!!!!

I got formula 4, 52mm wheels and have a flat spot thats pretty noticeable. I’ve had them for like 3 months. Not really sure where I went wrong, or maybe just unlucky. I rarely do power slides but skate almost every day.

I skated in the late 90s and prices then is the same as now. That’s why wheels and trucks were ridden till it actually broke.

@@jtv0 That's partly true, consumers were much more savvy back then of the idea of wanting to get our full moneys worth out of everything we brought... and its truly amazing that the skate industry has never really been effected by inflation, its crazy to think skate gear from shoes to boards and everything inbetween have largely remained the same cost over decades. but beyond the global shift to mass consumerism in a world filled of products built with planned obsolescence... theres also been a general evolution of skateboard gear over the years to lighter components all around but especially trucks... theres also been major advances in urathene technology and many attempts at improving board technoloy/durablity with carbon fibers inserts and what not... these type of advances have dragtically changed the industry allowing skaters to ride wider boards and bigger wheels without all the additional weight that wouldve came along with such a setup back in the 90s. Growing up in the 90s street skaters rode narrow boards and small wheels. You could actually buy sub 50mm wheels at any skate shop back in the 90s, whereas nowadays companies begin there wheel sizing at 50mm. The common street wheels sizes in the 90s were anywhere between 40-50mm... nowadays people ride anything from 50-56mm for street/park skating. Some companes in the 90s even offered wheels that were sub 40mm. Wide boards with big wheels existed in the 90s too but were considered a vert setup back in the day. Nowadays essentially everyone runs a 90s vert setup... which makes a lot of sense considering how popular park skating is these days with true street skating becoming more and more obscure among todays youth skaters... which is simply an interesting observation of mine, since theirs obviously a bunch of other reasons why wide boards and bigger wheels have gained so much popularity but imo theirs definitely a correlation between the popularity of park riding and board and wheel size trends going wider and bigger.

Learned anything yet?

@@memelordrafael4091 prob that she was on roller skate wheels

Do you do power slides or revert your tricks a lot tho?

Lucky I've been skating for six months and got my first ever flat spot from a bs 180 a week ago :(

Wt s a fórmula 4?

@@ironninja9873 Formula 4 is Spitfire wheels' name for their proprietary chemical formula of urethane for their top tier skate wheels. Similar to Bones and their STF (Street Tech Formula) wheels. I hope that answered your question. Cheers! - Tim

This guy probably aint even trying or doesnt skate hard. My wheels lasted for YEARS, until i started to revert my tricks or try harder tricks that i couldn't "set straight" before landing, now they last 3 or 4 months before they sound like a motorcycle. Obviously wheels are still fine, but i hate that sound and also they are slower and that really matters when riding transition. For streets dudes, you can probably skate the wheels from 54mm to 49mm without issue.

Que Dableyou check out boardy cakes wheels. They a new company that specializes in tiny wheels

check out SML wheels, they sell 40mm

Thank you for the support! We do it for the love of skateboarding! Take care! 💖

I skate at steens too 😳

@@MicahGaede yall should do a skate sesh together lol

@@JerseyDevils21 yuppp they should

Glad someone noticed! 😆💚

true, i had the same wheels for almost 10 years now and still look pretty good, a few cuts here and there but nothing big and it doesnt sound like a motorcycle. When i bought the wheels back then i actually bought 2 sets because i thought they were not going to last more than 2 years.

Haha YES! those are the wheels I was watching this video for, they should arrive tomorrow or on the 3rd of August, i feel complete 💃

Oh shit

Dammmnnnn

i don't get it

Thats the flintstones method. Better find someone who works at a shop with a lathe machine and just tell them to shave them until they are even, they will probably shave like 0.5mm off but the finish will be like brand new wheels.

It's very normal for one or two of the wheels to stop before the others. If they all can freely spin for 10+ seconds then you don't have anything to worry about. It's only really a problem if they stop abruptly after a few seconds. New trucks/bushings can be a bit sticky before they're broken in, so they'll stick in place and make your board auto-turn when you let it roll on its own. Just keep skating them and they'll break in and the auto-turn will fix itself. I hope that helps! - Tim
