LIke ok... I have a pair of rollerblades. I wore down the wheels so they weren't good ot skate on any longer so I figure I'll just buy some new wheels replace them and be all set. I ask the guy at Sports Authority he says wheel size doesnt matter they are all universal just take it apart put new wheels on put them back together. Easy right??

Well yeah so after 40 minute sI figured out how to get the old wheels off... Then I spent a long long time trying to figure out how to get the inner metal bits out so I could shove them in the new wheels (I forget what Timmer called it) Well I finally get all the pieces apart, I now have a large stack of metal and 4 shiny new wheels waiting for me... Then i go about the task of cleaning each piece of metal and trying to get it back into the new wheels and hook the new wheels onto my skates.

It was about here that I hit a problem. When I realized that the back wheels have a diffrnet axel then the front wheels... Ok I can deal with that hook the front three wheels on and I am all ready to put the last one on when I realize these little pieces of plastic are diffrent also. I can not believe it now I need to go and take the bloody thing apart again and re put it together again!! I will leave a message when I finally finish!

Peace and Trees

I'm sorry i did that once because of the excess use i game my rollerblades last time. The only difference is that i went to the store but i took one skate with me to make sure they fit and are the proper size. Guess what , they did fit and worked even better than the last ones. Come to think about it , i think i need to buy new skates or new wheels i don't know.

Oh well have fun with your new wheels. I wish i could be there since i'm really good at taking things apart and then putting them back together. I'm the technician of the house. My family just gives anything that need to be put together, anything you name it, they go away and when they come back i'm already finish. I just find it easy and relaxing.

No imagin how many puzzels i have completed. I have a collection. They are very fun. I guess i have the patience to make them.

Bye
