To properly install Atom Pulse Wheels on your roller skates, you'll need the following tools and equipment:
Skate tool or wrench:
A skate tool is specifically designed for roller skate maintenance and typically has multiple functions, such as adjusting trucks, mounting wheels, and changing bearings. If you don't have a skate tool, you can use a wrench (usually a standard 1/2-inch wrench) to remove and tighten the axle nuts.
Bearings:
You'll need suitable bearings for your Atom Pulse Wheels. Most roller skate wheels use standard 608 bearings with an 8mm inner diameter. Make sure to have enough bearings, as you'll need two per wheel.
Bearing spacers (optional):
Some roller skaters prefer to use bearing spacers, which are small cylindrical pieces that go between the bearings inside the wheel. These spacers help maintain proper spacing between bearings and reduce friction, potentially leading to a smoother ride and longer bearing life.
Bearing press or a flat surface:
To insert bearings into the Atom Pulse Wheels, you can use a bearing press designed for roller skate wheels. If you don't have access to a bearing press, a flat surface and some pressure applied by hand or using the truck's axle can also work.
A clean and organized workspace:
It's essential to have a clean and organized workspace to make the wheel installation process smooth and efficient. Lay out your tools, wheels, bearings, and any other necessary components before starting.
With these tools and equipment, you can properly install Atom Pulse Wheels on your roller skates and enjoy a better outdoor roller skating experience.
