OJ, you can rip it to shreads if you like but if you do, guess who will be writing the replacement When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Re:Beginners guide to Wheel Rotation - 08:27 28 Dec 07That's a great write up for people new to this. Well written and very very clear.! Skate Monkey !

Just a minor point for info. Some skates have 76mm wheels on the front 2 axles, and 80mm wheels on the rear axles, so 1 to 3, 2 to 4 doesn't work. (No they are not rockered, the frame is designed with the front bearings 2mm lower in the frame than the rear.) The only method with these is 1 to 2, 3 to 4.
And then of course there are 5 wheel frames.

Good point MCS, my skates were supplied exactly as you have pointed out but luckily have offset spacers so that I could make them flat. I'll have a look and see where I can add your comment.

Re:Beginners guide to Wheel Rotation - 21:25 02 Jan 08Don't worry too much about integrating comments (unless you want to), that is what this thread is for
My comment, once you have done this guide a few times then buy some callipers and see how your wearing your wheels down. Not only can you put four equal wheels together when you swap wheels but it can sometimes get a good idea of your skating from how your wearing them down There're some awesome films in the charts at the moment.

Re:Beginners guide to Wheel Rotation - 21:51 04 Jan 08Good advice DB. BTW I have calipers and if anyone wants, I could always bring them down to Sandhurst next time I'm there. MCS, I'll leave your advice in this thread then When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Re:Beginners guide to Wheel Rotation - 22:58 14 Jan 08It's good stuff elric. However, at the risk of being labeled a pedant (though that particular ship may well have sailed) I'd like to quote Lynne Truss at you:
"...the word "it's" (with apostrophe) stands for "it is" or "it has". If the word does not stand for "it is" or "it has" then what you require is "its". This is extremely easy to grasp. Getting your itses mixed up is the greatest slolecism in the world of punctuation. No matter that you have a PhD and have read all of Henry James twice. If you still persist in writing "Good food at it's best", you deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave."
A little harsh perhaps, but she knows how to make a point.Any views or opinions expressed in these posts are those of the individual typing and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of The Kingol Corporation of International Badger Flingers and should probably be ignored. Unless they are in favour of Badger Flinging. We like that.

Who is she trying to kid? I'll be the first to agree she knows more about correct puntuation than me but an apostrophe is not simply a sign for omitted letters, it also stands for possesion and varies in placement depending on singular or plural status and it is pretty much abused / used everywhere. Just take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe
Anyway yes I see I have miss-used it and will happily edit it When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
