I just swapped wheels on my Stinger from the hydros to the boosted 105’s. Also upgraded my bushings to riptides.
My question is if I correctly installed the back wheels as I couldn’t find instructions online.
What I did was, for each of the back wheels, after removing the old hydro wheels, I first pushed the new large bearing into the new pulley, then I pushed the pulley into the new wheel as far as I could, then I just put the belt that was already on my board (same as the new one) around the new pulley, pushed in as far in as I could, and then added the final screw on the outside of the wheel to secure it in place. This seemed to be the only logical way to go about this without seeing anything online.
Did anyone do anything differently? I guess there were also 4 extra (white) bearings it comes with that you don’t use to install.
The main reason I’m asking if I installed correctly is because after riding it, I noticed the belt is coming off of the pulley, about half of the belt is not on the pulley, but I can’t push the wheel or pulley in any more than it already is. The belt hasn’t come completely off the pulley so I don’t know if it will and actually become an issue, but curious if that is normal for these types of wheels for this board?
That being said the new bushings and wheels feel great. There is also a humming sound I hear sometimes and curious if that is normal or will go away eventually?
Thanks for taking the time to read!
