Title: anybody using a flight II spindle on single pinch
Post by: selfpreservation on December 22, 2006, 07:06 PM

anybody tried this ive put mine on and they seem to fit snug although the domed bolts are a different size but the flight II ones seem to work fine , i hae the looseball spindle ect but thought it might save me taking the sealled ones out

Yes I did do this on one of my builds, they seem to be the same size spindle, but as you said the bolts on the old spindle are Imperial, where as the new Flights are Metric.

Well I did ride it, but only from where I parked my car to Southsea Skatepark so only a few hundred yards.
