Fedor IndutnyTIL Not only what wheel bite is by definition, but what it actually is in reality. Not fun!
I need to get myself smaller wheels.
Retrospective:
- Changing wheels from 78a 56mm to 92a 52mm (smaller diameter and harder wheels)
- Getting harder bearings
Hopefully that will be the end of it, because I'd really love to avoid wheel bite again. This time I was thankfully riding pretty slow, but still ended up rolling on the ground. (Too much Elden Ring lately?!)
Hmm… bones hard bushings are somehow incompatible with my indie trucks. When I put them on - both trucks make clicking sound when turning, but when I swapped back the original bushings - the sound is gone. Wtf? #skateboarding #skateboard
Hah, put it back together with bones, but original top and bottom washers and the click is gone? #skateboarding #skateboard
@indutny That sounds a bit weird that there were click sounds when you used #Bones #bushings with #IndependentTrucks. I don't use the original washers, but the top washer from the Bones set. This usually works fine for me. If I hear strange sounds coming from the truck, I usually disassemble the truck and take a candle and rub the candle wax on the metal parts of the truck (all aluminum parts as well as the kingpin including the thread). Sound is gone then, usually.
