- Castor trucks are vulnerable to getting dirty alot more than skateboard trucks, mainly because they contain 2 sets of bearings. This tutorial will show you how to clean them and restore them to their original glory...

my entire back wheel contraption thing completely fell off. How do I fix it?
thanks! this really helped my ripstik run a lot better!
Thanks for this video, it appears to be the only information about caster truck maintenance on the entire Internet. Hopefully you are still around to answer a couple quick questions. What kind of grease is that and is there a good alternative to it? I have the Speed Cream but you specifically chose to not use that for the ball bearing grease bed.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I'm not really castor boarding anymore and I haven't checked this channel recently. But I just caught your comment.
That grease I used for the truck ball bearing bed was some general purpose grease I used to use on bikes when working in a bike store. You don't want to use speed cream for this - you want to use something of a thicker texture that sticks. Then (if I remember correctly) I would only apply the speed cream to the bearings on the wheels, not the trucks.
ThePost001 Thanks a ton for that response. My board has been in pieces for a week now as I've been trying to get some of this figured out and this was my last issue. I'll be grabbing that general purpose grease tomorrow and putting my board back together, clean and lubricated. I can't wait to ride this board again after properly cleaning it.

Extremely helpful mate, thanks a lot.
If you are around to answer, could you tell me: could not cleaning it like this cause it to break or just not work as well?
well I haven't found where you can get a blade yet but some ppl say you can get them from Target (target is in AU), and Sports Authority (I don't know if Sports Authority is in AU), and Bass Pro Shops. I was in AU from 2003 to 2007. and i lived in NSW. Ty agian 4 this vid nice work! ^.^
Nice video! I'm running Bones Reds in my AIR. It goes hard!
Good question - Over time alot of dirt seeps into the bearings, wearing them down, and the grease eventually washes away or dries up. Basically you need to flush out the dirty grease, and replace it with 'fresh' new grease...i learnt this while working with bicycles, it's the same thing
Hi, someone help me!!!
I've a ripstik but the wheels look like they are curver, its common to see this on my board? and if isn't Does anyone know how to replace it? I said 'cause I didn't find them on sale.
Well I sure don't know but you might want to buy a waveboard because it last longest but yet it isn't the best for riding.
Does anybody know what size the steal balls are or at least how i can find them?
thanks man, nice vid
Thanks for your feedback people, glad I could help. I couldn't find anyone else doing castor trucks when I wanted to clean mine so I thought I'd make one for others.
Nicely done.
Not sure on the number but there should be enough in there so there's not any space for one more in there, if you know what i mean. They should all be snug together.
hi i have a probelm i clean my truck things like u said and its ok but it make a sound like some thing is lose when i look at it,it looks like that plastic ring you put on the balls is wobeling around what do i do? p.s. i have 16 metal ball things am i missing one?
very nice. i'm gona buy a blade board cuz they r beta'. (well i think so) they r cheaper aswell.
hey. my back wheel jammed up when i rode it this morining (when i went to launch it didnt spin) and now it spins, but it makes a sound and has friction (doesnt spin when for long). Do i need to clean it, or just loosen trucks.
Thx.
Did anyone how to open the castors of a waveboard yet? Mine needs desperately a clean up and the rings seems to be ruined. Are they easy to find?
i have a wave board and have the same prob. now the allen wrench chewed up the nut so its impossible to loosen

i used vegetable oil for the torsion bar
..probably not the best idea but it worked! lol
nice and smooth
op, anyone?
Is blade board on the market yet? Where is it sold? I'm in Australia and have been waiting for the Wave to come out, but have lost patience and have ordered one over ebay. Ripstik is hogging the market here.
anyone know where I can find replacement trucks?
they come with ABEC-5's
Hey, if a spanner set is too expensive, i'd recommend to get an adjustable spanner...
Thanks for this video there arn't many more of these
Someone help me out, i came home one day and noticed the back one was loose then I noticed it was dirty so I decided to clean it however the back one doesn't have ball bearings and the front one does, is this right or is it possible I lost them when the back castor got loose?
you must have lost them. Sorry D:
Frank Lance Yea pretty sure i did too, ordered some new DLX castors a week after i wrote that comment :)
good luck :D
i have the same problem you did but idk where u got the DLX casters from where they the same ones as before
