IKRā¦ fucking dope. And it is different. I was kind of unpsyched about building out the Lacroix, as I donāt want to use Trampa and I canāt find any Mattix pro 2 trucks.
Itās the reason i didnāt buy the board. Not a fan of the offroad trucks - seen too many fractures, etc and I know my fat ass will outright break them.
Inpushed it around the parking lot like thatā¦ and
A. It actually works
B. Felt so damn flowy!
I am trying to figure out what size battery to put in. It is really made for 10s6p, I think I could finagle 12s5pā¦ 12s4p is an easy fit, but I think I want 6 p on 10s over 4 p on 12s if I canāt get 12s5p to work well. It fits, but the layout is a little funny.
Mine just came to the office. Didnāt have too many colors to choose from for 45, so pink and purple it is! Yeah I picked pink over orange. Really want red to gain 20% speed
@moon yeah those are the bolts they sent me. Definitely need to remove the whole thing just to take off the wheelā¦I just realized I donāt have any 10mm spacers for between the wheel, letās see if the spacers they provided is enough.
Here it is next to the TB 218s, I used @PatRocks 's recommended (from hanger) black | red | red | bearing | black | bearing | shoulder bolt. Now to loctite this down.
Offtopic but Iām gonna share wrth you boys. This PM commute ride was glorious. Bootiful weather in nyc today. Most of the lights lined up (might have been red for non-eskaters), and only one almost-killed by yellowcab.
Hollow steel tube ID .394Ā° aka 10mm. Who can cut square and repeatable?
EDIT adding more stuff to this originally crap post.
the spacers you can buy from SR look very nice, will do the job.
Spacers are usually 10mm wide.
Precision ones are nicer for sure.
Aluminum is not the best, deforms too easy. Steel is mo betta. This goes for speed rings too.
Abec11 introduced bearings with integrated spacers and speed rings called Biltin (thanks @ChrisChaput!). Zealous, etc. are lowballing them out of the game. Iām not sure if this is a bad thing overall.
Seismic Tekton (integrated spacer/speedring) come in 10mm. Expensive.
