Rear vs. Front
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 10:51 pm
Something just occurred to me...
If I buy a "Front" and run it on the "Rear," am I going to potentially get axle walk-out?
What I mean is this: The axles are supposedly reverse threaded. I actually beleive that would be ONLY on one side. The reverse threading is so that friction from the wheel turning will not loosen the axle and make it walk out of its thread. My beleif is that this would be the "left" axle both front and back. But since the trucks are mounted in a reversed position it is actually the opposite axles on the trucks. The trucks sitting together, disassociated from a board would have the opposite axles reverse threaded. Follow?
So if I purchase a front Split-fire and run it on the rear, I am exposing myself to axle walkout, right?
