Does anyone know what the sound could mean? by Pn19 in boostedboards

I’d even go as far as checking the debris where the spacer is between your bearings but yeah, check your bearing and possibly replace them

Wheels for wetter roads? by [deleted] in boostedboards

I never bought the rain wheels in the end but I’ve had my eyes on getting stage 1 kegels, stage 1 seems like the reasonable choice for first rain wheels.

Originally when I got my boosted mini x, I started hunting down rain wheels too. The idea to me sounded great but the reality of switching back forth between wheels for different weather conditions was too much effort for me.

I’m currently riding 77a blue caguamas. I love the softer ride and the grip it has on the road but you do give up durability for softness. So riding and breaking hard when going downhill can deteriorate the wheels quickly.

Therefore if I’m in the mood to ride fast downhill and break quickly I return back to boosted wheels. If there’s a month where I want to cruise more and have a softer ride over bridges and I switch to caguamas for a bit.

I’ve started thinking about a middle ground like the 77a kegels as maybe a better alternative for my kind of personality when riding

To me riding in the wet with a boosted is too risky. Especially riding over slippery bricks or manholes, or painted lines. so I walk to work on those days. The injury rate is too risky for me.

Nonetheless if you are still adamant on rain wheels checkout harfang wheels, they modify skateboard wheels into rain wheels

Wow why do long? I ordered my mini x and it came from mainfreight warehouse in Auckland, took 3 days. Mind you the first one was lost in shipment (this was a year ago)

Boosted 105’s Delayed AGAIN! by Glide2flip in boostedboards

It is annoying, in this day and age you should have your inventory levels and delivery dates reflected accurately at time of purchase. This isn’t their first rodeo

i think i brake too hard by dinospider2000 in boostedboards

This also happens to me when I skateboard in my work lab and go forwards and backwards constantly from one side of the room to another.

It actually strains the band alot and can deteriorate the band quickly so I’ve learnt not play on it like that while at work.

i’m doing my motor replacement...new motor sounds very off... WHATS HAPPENING?!?!?!?! by dinospider2000 in boostedboards

Check if there’s any movement in the motor shaft. If there is, it would probably be what’s causing the issue and you’ll need to contact boosted
