skate-board wheel chain roller.

[gizzy2014]

so hey guys i thought id make a tutorial out of this since i'm too cheap to buy chain rollers right now and had wheels sitting around.

Anyways first you will need:
skateboard wheel:

bolt, 2 washers, a nut, a lock-nut: (yes it is straight the lenses on my gopro does tht)

drill bit/screw gun:

and a saw-zall/hacksaw (hacksaw for if you have swing-arm removed i don't think it will fit otherwise)

First: remove old roller (if any is left) cut the shaft for the roller off.

^^removed i forgot a before picture
Second: take your drill bit slightly larger than bolt.

Third: slid bolt into hole, and tighten nut on the other side, slid a washer onto bolt then your wheel, washer, and lock-nut.

Fourth: your done congrats on your super cheap and easy chain roller.

Note: i believe now you can run dirt bike chain rollers now as i think the bearings are the same on skate wheels and dirt bike chain rollers.

Note Note: you can also do the same thing to the bottom but the wheel is alittle large so maybe mounting in a bolt sticking it in a drill press and filling it down somehow would make it fit better

This would be a nice sticky if y'all find it helpful.

Top marks and some green rep for a great tutorial.

On the cheaper side of things, I just cut a teflon chopping board with a 2" hole saw and pop 2 of the discs on the roller mounting.

Bonus is that is you get to keep the roller shaft.

PS. The chain seems a little slack.

I may do this for the 2 rebuilds I am doing as they both need new rollers.

note to you all the bottom wheel needs to be made smaller............ or its alittle to big for its place..... it works but idk if id trust it
