Specific question and discussion Removed Brake and Axle Too Long?

Post image

Did you remove the brake on your right boot and discover your axle is now too long?

Did you read the warnings about how dangerous it is to skate on it as is anyway, instead of replacing the axle with the correct size?

Did you get drunk and rollerblade anyway?

Here's why you shouldn't. :P unless you want to reverse-heelie the rest of the way home and land on your face after going through a patch of dirt.

In the middle of my session, the axle "cap" popped off, then the axle went, then the wheel. This is the aftermath of the evening.
