Step 2: Widening the trucks: Why
The wider the axles are the more stable the board will be. My skateboard trucks started at around 135 mm (hanger width) and are now 235 wide.
Despite what some of you might be thinking, this works. My axle hasn't snapped and isn't deformed and i weigh just over 90kg at 194cm
And it was cheap.
This method creates a hollow hanger. a hollow hanger is very weak until it is filled with a high grade steel 8mm bolt
The bolt goes through the wheel and forms the new axle. This axle is then screwed into the hollow hanger formed by the spacer nuts.
Sounds confusing? Take a look at the next step.
