Alignment does matter and is EASY to fix. Simply remove the nut on your axle for your hub on one side and rotate your hub(tire and all) until you fall into the spline that alighns the paddles.

see the thing about skat trak is you will never get them lined up becuse of the glue the paddles on and there different spaced apart so you can never get them right. it doesn't matter thow.

Maybe you got a bad set, because my haulers are all evenly spaced

O.k. The paddles should be evenly spaced on the tire. What happens is when they are mounted on the wheels the tires can be mounted in different positions in relation to each wheels bolt pattern. If you are patient enough mounting them you could get them close to perfect. I just try to get them close so the paddles clock up the same on each side. You can do this by rotating the complete mounted tire until it matches or is close using the wheel bolt patten. Or if it isn't close enough for you you can rotate your hub on the axle splines. Or go back and remount your tires. If you're just having fun who cares! Close enough works! I'm sure you have better things to do than getting your paddles in perfect alignment. If you're that worried get a 12 or 14 paddle tire in a small diameter then you're bound to get them to line up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the input guys. im going to mess with the splines and the hubs and get it lined up if not take them back to rocky mountian and make them remount one of them to match the outher. All skat traks are matched pairs form the factory so i know that is not the problem. but lots of good ideas here and opinions.

keep dunin!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
