Review on Skateboard Truck Axle Washers Performance by Jeremy Bradford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Shims work best on skates, skateboards and scooters

This set of shims is perfect for my needs. I work a lot with longboards and speed pucks get lost very easily. It's very important to have a few spare pucks unless you want to spend half an hour looking for a tiny puck on the ground while cleaning bearings or changing wheels. The puck package arrived quickly and the price was great for the crowd. The difference in performance with and without these washers is noticeable, it is definitely important for any serious skateboarder to have speed washers so you can fully tighten your axle nuts and not worry about the nut loosening mid-ride (which reminds me has happened). Five stars is hardly wrong for axle washers, but they are perfect.

Pros
  • Shims increase speed and extend bearing life by reducing friction between the bearing, axle nut and hangar
Cons
  • weak
