My Esk8s. A journal of sorts

Welp.
It was a good adventure tinkering tonight…

It’s 1am…
I got 60% done maybe…

Maybe I am underestimating how long shit should take.

I got the new hubs on.

That went mostly smoothly.

I had to dig out another pair of wheel pulleys to make the spacing from the motor plate correct.
Sometimes it pays to be a hoarder.

I broke a long bolt… Stripped another one… So I had to cut down bolts…
These are the long ones for the pulleys.
I like to go through the hub and spacer with a long bolt.

Bearing seats on the hubs seemed firm.

The 7 inch evolve tires look to be spinning pretty true.

All I do for balancing is put one little weight on the outside of the hub opposite the valve.

I’m using a spacer and a speed ring between the bearings.

I like the design of the hubs and the assembly was easy with the front side holding the two bearings.
Neat stuff.


I really hope they ride well.

It is quite the difference with the way the tires look vs mbs rockstars II.




So yeah.
Tires rotated.
New hubs in.
And I am loving the look.
