Hello guys.
This is Kim from Korea.
I love Notorious & backflip.
I would like to recommend my experience that I fixed my chewed wheel hex in backflip.
It is usual thing that wheels chewed up in the standing backflip.
I have ground 6wheel hexes on my test in order to find best backflip.
After fixing it as shown in the picture below, there has been no problem at all for a month so far.
It is easy. You need just 6 screws as below.
Firstly recommended M2 or M3 and length 6mm screw (hex thickness is 6mm). If it were re-chewed you can use more bigger M3 or M4 screw.
The screw causes the pressed hex face to swell.
(before fixing)
Notorious’s hex has space for screw.
(after fixing)
(after fixing)
set screw or screw for wood anyone you can use.
If there is no space to put in set screw, you might need drilling.
After fixing of screw, hex got stronger than before. Because of metal screw.
I hope this description will be helpful for you.
I think you don’t have to buy new wheel any more in this case.
Thanks,
