    Quick question ... I have a Evolve Gen2 Bamboo... I was switching the AT wheels back to the Street wheels ... and found that I'm missing the spacer/washer that goes between the
    80mm Orangatang Kegel wheel and the Black Plastic Gear ... that size of spacer/washer do I need and do you have them?
    Or can I just purchase them from any skate shop? But I need to know the size?
    Thank you
    Gerry

    I think it's just a normally spacer mate. You can get away without. Maybe check with Evolve USA they probably got them or any standard skate spacer should do the trick.

    Problem is without it .... when I finish installing the wheel and tighten up the final bolt/nut ... it's very hard fir the wheel to turn. It's putting a lot of resistant don the motor/drive wheel

    As long as you've got one of those lock nuts with the plastic in it, you should be able to tighten it down till you feel the resistance, then back it off slightly and you should be set. . .

    hopefully someone can back me here though, or tell me I'm wrong. I'd feel terrible if I were wrong and no one let us know ;)

    Spacers do make it easier though.

    Hello Skully,
    I did insert a normal/regular space and tighten up the lug nut and backed off a bit. Seems to be fine. "I guess" However how I'm not sure how much resistance should be on that single drive wheel?
    Seems as though too much resistance wears the battery and if it's too loose the wheel may be loose?
    Is there some way of measuring the ideal resistance required??
