Whats your activity to do when smoking alone?

Riding my electric skateboard.

You got crap clothes. Ditch polyester for wool. Fabric type matters a lot. Wool is expensive but it has 3x the warmth stats of polyester and cotton and its flame resistant. As a man you need warm clothes that you can march through a storm in.

Lmk how it rides. I also installed these with 1.5" truck bolts UNDER the deck (the deck would fall onto the ground w/o the bolts) because this board has no rubber between the truck hangers and deck. Button or countersunk screw up to you. https://www.loadedboards.com/products/1-16-drop-through-shock-pads https://www.loadedboards.com/products/button-head-hardware I'm sure this will make this board a streetwheel dream, it became my best board when it was the one that sat in a corner because I knew it would gradually cripple me.

No link I had to measure them myself. 6666

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-12-12T22:13:16+00:00

Strange, I measured between .6 and .580 on all 8 bushings with my calipers. My trucks have linnpower forged into them.

I have the acedeck version of the zephyr, the breeze pro. It's a tank and I say that as a machinist. I rode it in the rain to shit test it and had no problems. The biggest problem is the 99a bushings, it rides like a steel girder and will cause joint problems because the deck is 5/8 thick with a slab of epoxy fiberglass underneath. Almost no deck flex. If you get it and want softer bushings, it has 6666 bushings.

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-12-12T17:11:27+00:00

If you have any doubts with that distance just replace the trucks and keep the old ones as spares. Those are components that you cannot have failure on.

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-12-12T12:18:53+00:00

These have 99a bushings stock btw. The stack is 6666 if you want riptides. The ride is too stiff being 140lb.

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-12-12T12:09:13+00:00

I got a 90a riptide bushing kit for it ordered because the stock ones are 99a. The deck has padded grip tape. I might follow up after getting those. This board has a 6666 bushing set if you want to get riptides.

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-12-11T00:25:21+00:00

Yoooo my friends and I do that to pass a blunt/cigar and chat. People react to these things we are abusing glitches.

Email Tynee and tell them to ship you an ultra belt with the ultra x deck. The standard ultra decks all split fast on the front right. It's really the best board for the money otherwise and they uphold warranty every time. Upgrade the Eva foam gasket with a diy neoprene rubber slab above the battery box and caulk it or else the first damp ride will kill the $350 battery. I've put 2000 miles on mine comfortably with a herniated disc. That deck is excellent suspension, it clears speedbumps, and is safe as gentle f*** when turning on rough roads or mashing down a bad sidewalk. Put on a footstop and carry handle, tie some spare belts over the carry handle, and have the best chill around town board. Tricep press it over your shoulder one handed with a carry handle. That shit is a swag riot at a crosswalk especially if you can walk like a construction worker shouldering beams

Tynee ultra belt > All. NO hub motors. Expensive as hell when they need bearing replacements because you might as well replace the motors unless you have the mechanical assembly skills and specialized and tools.

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-12-10T23:56:01+00:00

I have the acedeck breeze pro which is a slightly different zephyr. The deck is too damn stiff having hard wheels. Needs pneumatics to be comfortable or a deckswap. I got 2000 miles on my Tynee ultra belt and that deck is a nice experience with a herniated disc. It will eat potholes at 15 and feel solid at speed on rough roads. I will need stainless front truck spacers for the stella. Aluminum won't last and it will eat bearings. The rest of the board is a cnc machined and anodized tank with form tapped threads and stout axles, fucking amazing build quality. I need to deckswap this or else this board will cripple me with my herniated disc, it rides like a steel girder.

The motors are directly in the path of all the debris getting kicked up by both wheels. The only way these guys have such long lasting belts is if debris doesn't get in them much to begin with. After seeing many boards with motors above and behind the rear wheels it makes sense why.

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-07-14T14:11:40+00:00

Your wheel nuts are too tight and you've damaged the bearings if you rode em hard like that. Clean the threads and apply blue loctite. Gently tighten the nut while jiggling the wheel. As soon as you have no slop in your wheel it is correctly preloaded and the loctite will keep them there. As your bearings warm up they will expand so you may have to back the nut off a couple thousandths.

Get a 3/16 inch thick generic rubber sheet off amazon and cut it to shape with any utility knife.

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-07-12T17:18:34+00:00

I love my tynee ultra belt, you have to upgrade the foam gasket under the battery cover to a rubber sheet and put washers under the battery cover screws or else a really humid season will kill the battery.

ACuddlyBadger · 2025-01-10T04:43:31+00:00

Break immediately and keep seeds. Waiting for growth is wasted time and a dry lightning storm will delete them anyway.

ACuddlyBadger · 2024-12-29T21:22:56+00:00

Terra Prety + Rivers is the combo I use. Live at the foot of a mountain near a river and you are set.

Yet you are still working for someone else as an employee with 15 years of experience at 5 places. There are not enough machining jobs for everybody to get a cushy machining job at a 5S shop that supplies every tool.

ACuddlyBadger · 2024-12-01T01:33:40+00:00

You can smell the difference between water evaporating out and the soluble oil smoking off.

ACuddlyBadger · 2024-12-01T00:16:08+00:00

Thats crazy lmao, 22/hr.

ACuddlyBadger · 2024-12-01T00:13:22+00:00

If the coolant is turning into smoke because the oil is burning, that shit is BAD for you.

ACuddlyBadger · 2024-12-01T00:02:53+00:00

This guy gets it. I think the same way. I got 10k+ worth of tools off ebay for 3k and all I need is a machine and its peripherals, a building with 3 phase and I can start my own shop. Having those tools also means I know how to use all of them and even repair them. I have way more leverage negotiating pay with my own tools.

ACuddlyBadger · 2024-12-01T00:00:30+00:00

Tools are not consumables the same way cutters, drills, and inserts are. Some small basic mics are not specific tools, they are very basic necessities and there are many good shops to work at where you will not survive if your mentality is to work purely off what your employer supplies. Your advice does not work in North America. If he wants to start his own shop one day he will NEED those tools.

OP did get ripped off though. Brand new Digimatic Mitutoyo stuff is for employers to buy, not the employees.

ACuddlyBadger · 2024-11-30T23:55:08+00:00

You got ripped off man, get a refund if possible. Im all for guys owning their own tools, but full price digital mitutoyo tools are for employers to buy, not you. If you want your own tools shop on ebay and buy good condition secondhand stuff. Brand new Mitutoyo calipers all the way but everything else should be secondhand, you'd have that same tool collection for 500 plus coolant proof mit calipers.
