A video with mostly urethane wheels on mbs matrix IIs
( it’s the skate kastle kit. )
cross linking this magic bearing chatter.
12x22mm is a bad idea for what we do. you realize that each ball is gonna be less than 5 mm right?
yeah that’s the rub. the bearing is expensive and you’re likely going to kill it fast and/or unexpectedly.
Yeah and as i said before I’d recommend going an alternative route as the ball bearings are dangerously small
me personally I’d machine down the axles to 10mm…
Do MBS axles unscrew?
I cant answer that but Im assuming youre talking about matrix 2? I do not believe so. MAtrix 2 should be 9.5mm though
Yes, sorry. I get mine tomorrow and was curious.
Weren’t you using ROckstars? those have 27mm seats
Yes but I also have some evolve hubs.
I’ll probably end up using the rockstars for 6” tires as well, just wanted an easy swap lol.
Just use a spacer like trampa?
I did see those, was thinking about it!
Wait but don’t those convert 12mm to 8mm?
whoa.
Those bearings(22/12) are ridiculously expensive, so, I cheated. I took out the mbs axles. Had 10mm axles machined from tool steel. And then i put those in. [IMG_20200806_072031] [IMG_20200807_140106]
yes you are correct. you cannot negative spacer
Maybe you should sell these!

Had 10mm axles machined from tool steel.
Hopefully in 1-2 weeks these are going to be available.
