Vapor

Rivets keep coming out

Recommended Posts

I have vector pros with tblades. And on 3 seperate occasions rivets have fallen out of my boot. I was wondering if there is any explkanation on why this would be happeaning. This just all of a sudden started happeaning, and its happeand 3 times within 4 months.

I had that prob with a pair of roller blades. The guy that did it up here in North Jersey (Ice House) messed them up. He just put the rivets thru, but never peened them over. When you peen them, they should be cut off and look kinda rounded like mushroom. All of them got loose. So I took them to Sports Section in Cedar Grove. Guy in there did a great job for me both times I did them there.

That happend to me on my Vapor T4 Inlines. The Rivets all just came out after 2 yrs of use. I was told the whole line was defective in general and allot of ppl had problems with the crappy factory mounting and/or chassis breakage which also happend to me!

you are not drying your skate enough. The rivets are rusting. Try pulling out the footbed after you play and/use a hair dryer on cool to blow some air in there for a couple of minutes. This will keep the smell down too.
