    Default bearing spacers to big

    On my landyacht I have 85mm hawgs and the spacers i have for the bearings don't exactly fit. Is it safe to have the bearings sticking out a bit for the sake of having a spacer in their? Is it important enough to allow my bearings to stick out a bit? or should I just buy smaller ones, and if so what size would fit?

    Most likely, your wheels have 8mm/0.300" bearing spacing, and you're using 10mm/0.400" spacers.

    Khiro sells them, and I stock them.

    Or, go to a roller rink and ask--the 8mm size is very common in roller skates.

    I'd settle for wheels that are remotely close to their stated hardness (I tested some '78a' that were barely above 70a).
