The $1.25 Bearing Cleaner: PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 04 August 2005
It's really easy to make a bearing cleaner using the bolt that comes with Biltin Bearings as part of the packaging (or get on down to the hardware store and buck up the 14 cents for your own) and a bottle of "spring water" or juice. Now, you need a wide mouth bottle: we've found that the blue-tinted Dasani water bottles, Minute Maid juice and even the small Powerade bottles all have a neck large enough to fit a 608 bearing through them, but smaller-necked bottles won't. So, get yourself a bottle full of designer water or whatnot and drink it. We used an 11.5oz. Minute Maid bottle, so let's get started. It will take you longer to read this than to make the bearing cleaner!

How to make a flush mount drop through PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 15 June 2005
In this tech article we will cover step by step the actions it takes to make a drop trough flush mount deck. Working with Randal150 trucks and a 59” Phat Cruize Big Gun we go through the motions detailing every aspect of the mod beginning to end, with lots of pictures and beginners advice. The benefits of a drop through are a lower center of gravity and decrease in overall deck height. This helps with stability and with ground access, foot breaking, and sliding. The drawbacks are wheelbite in some cases but with the large Phat Cruise wheel cutouts the issue of wheel bite is nil allowing us to run big meats on the deck with no fear of bite

How Mauiline does it without a vac-bag PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 23 May 2005
by Dino, AKA Mr. Mauiline AKA Geezer AKA Mauiskategeezer ad nauseum.

I've threatened to publish a board building guide in the past but never made the time. I'm so pleased with the way that Mauiline has enriched my life through the artful endeavour that is board building, that I've decided it's time to share the tech. Besides, it'll give something to post while I move the Mauiline factory to my new place in Paia, and take a little vacation from building.

A definitive bushing durometer list. Durometer is the measure of hardness, the higher the number the harder the material and the more resistance the trucks will have. A bushing is a bit of material that gives the truck play. If you have any alterations to make let us know and we will update it. Submitted by ol'dude.
