Dirt clod, you are not getting a free proto deck. I honestly don't think any company will sponsor you.

Derek, why get new ones when your old ones are perfectly fine lol? Spend the rest of the money on other things instead of things you already have

New Vertx wheels
Took a good 4 hours to get those bearings in... :/ Wrecked a whole 8 pack of brand new black panthers on them and ended up having to use spare bearings...

Really? Well to put my bearing in I freeze (not completely obviously) them, leave the wheels out on the sun, then get some grease and they go in pretty easy, but stay in with to prpblem. (I have vertx wheels too)

edit: what brake? doen't look like a zg flexy.

Well at least it's dialed. My bearings fall in and out. I should've ordered some 110 vertx wheels instead if these shitty ass motherfucking blunt wheels worn to like 90mm on an Orion.

Oh btw you should've just used a nut and bolt to compress the bearings in, it works everytime no matter how hard the bearings are to get in.

Well these wheels were by far the tightest fit ever.
And Ben... I used a vice. Lol, I'm thinking they're just not machined to the right precision.
I tried the nut and bolt one and the bearings literally exploded.

Holy ----- you used a vise and they didn't go in? I thought you were trying to like hammer them in. I only suggested my way because I didn't know you had a vise which definitely should've worked

But I finally just took a dremel and grinded down the bearing slots, that worked.
And yeah. A vice. I had them lined up right, but the slots were actually too narrow and it just crushed the bearings lol. The balls were falling out and everything.

My VertX wheels were hard to get bearings in as well, but I used the nut and bolt method and eventually got them in. You just have to make sure they're going in straight, otherwise you will start to break bearings. They're like SZ/Epic wheels in that sense, the bearing slots are super tight.

Btw, it's vise. Not vice. A vice is a weakness or a bad habit. A vise is a tool.
