Not sure if this is in the wrong place or not sorry if it is.
So as the title suggests I seem to have a bent axel on my Matrix II trucks, (see photo) I can’t seem to find anywhere that does replacement or aftermarket axels for them.
So is it possible to replace the axels and does someone make them? I’ve looked but can’t find anything.
And AFAIK there is nobody offering a permanent supply of replacement axles. There was a dude in France who has made some stepped down axles to allow people to run urethane wheels, but i’ve never heard of a replacement 12mm axle.
For the amount of effort it would take to actually replace the axle, let alone find one, it’s gonna be far easier and probably cheaper to just replace the truck
Assembling my board I was trying to align my motor mounts when I discovered one of the axles on my brand new matrix 2 truck is very subtly bent downward (same side as yours). I havent even ridden the board yet, this was out of the box. The axle could have been pressed in just off by 1-2mm but it is enough to throw my pulley alignment out.
Yeah exactly the same for me pointing down, wasn’t as noticeable with MBS Rockstar hubs on but as soon as I put the XCELL wheels on it stood out like a sore thumb.
