Landboard Bearing Reducer Inserts?

f0rgiv3n - 12-6-2009 at 09:02 AM

I have standard skate trucks 10mm and my bearings are 12mm... About 6 months ago I modified it by using duct tape and some aluminum piping to make it so it "kinda" fits. I came across this today:

DUDE why didn't I see that before?! My wheels aren't exactly snug to the trucks so I'm hoping to see if someone sells these in the US? Or if not, does anyone have this issue/how did you resolve it?

I had (and posted about) this same problem last Fall trying to put bigger wheels on my Blade. I would up just transferring the tires.

Maybe call MBS - they sell boards with both 10 and 12mm bearings mayber they have a reducer or insert you can use?

Or even maybe a skateboard shop. I know they make bearing shields for skateboards.
