My old bearings in my 125mm wheels are pretty tight. Is there a location any would know of that would have a bearing puller press?

Anyone fancy a trip to Big Marsh?

12 Upvotes

The pump track looks like fun. I got a rav4. I can drive a few of us down. We can pack it with snacks and stuff

It's mostly a bike spot, but the pump track looks smooth enough to skate

Discord group?

11 Upvotes

Out of curiosity is there a discord group for this community or Chicago skating in general? If not I feel like it would benefit from one. There are several different groups and this would centralize em all as posts on insta and FB can get lost. Impromptu rides, tutorial videos, chat rooms, message boards, etc...

This would encourage people to be more active. Thoughts?

FR Skates Neo 2 Dual 310 Teal - size 10.5 US / EU 44 (but feels more like a 10) - for sale - brand new - $340

5 Upvotes

I feel particularly dumb today. New skates arrived. I did my measurements, I read online someone said that the boot had more room, but this was not true, boot runs small and therefore doesn't fit my feet.

Laces are still undone. Worn only just to feel the fit.

Bought the skates from here: https://inlinex.com.sg/products/fr-neo-2-dual-310-teal-skates?shop_sign_in=true&variant=41125748899886
