    Default no spacers on gravity wheels?

    O just took apart my street g wheels on my newly bought gravity board, and i noticed they had no spacer.
    should I get spacers, or does it not make a difference?

    Yes, get some spacers. The correct size for cored Gravity wheels is 0.300", aka 8mm.

    I don't think I've ever bought a complete that came w/ spacers. For that matter they usually come with junk bearings (except for Gravity, they're Abec 5's are fast and smooth).

    Gravity's stance is that with the cores in the wheels you don't need spacers. That being said. I would say get some spacers.

    Try a rollerskating rink. Most of the wheels that use 8mm spacers are for rollerskates. Don't know if they use spacers or not.
