anyone have homemade wheels? haha that would be legit

 

[JoshNunez]

thats pretty hard to make, where would you get the urethane, where would you get the aluminum and the machine to make the wheels, etc.

 

[Jacob Alexander]

exactly. that is what i am talkin about

Socket pegs!

Why is your metal spoke up front, but a stock wheel in the back?

 

[Jacek]

because the stock wheel is stronger, and the twizzler is too good for the back.

 

[Rob.]

I think you have that in reverse... lol.

 

[Jacek]

well i know for sure that stock wheel wont break. that twizzler is 9 and a half months old... so idk. i would switch them around but this way my wheels last a year and dont break. if i switch them, the twizz might get huge rips.

Dang! Mine is fucked after a month of riding it...

Socket pegs!

for these do u need a longer axle?

 

[Jacek]

yea i bought a 4 and a half inch axel for the back, and for the front, i used a razor pro back axel. works really nice.

^^^^

 

[Noah Fraley]

good idea

 

[Jacek]

Ok i changed some things about the pegs.
For the front, i added a wheel spacer, making the peg two inches long. Also the added length makes sure that when 50-50'ing, the deck doesn't rest on the rail.

For the back, i did a few things. Before i changed the back peg, i had to ghetto-rig the peg just to fit the ambush.The peg wouldnt fit when directly facing the deck, so i my bolt bent down, and the peg was crooked. Now, i got a slightly shorter socket that was the same diameter, put it on, along with a random metal ring that was thick and fit directly under the ambush deckplate. The peg now matches up with the front peg. Works really nice now. no bends or ghetto-rigging.
