ive got a pair of fully threaded 500's but loose ball bearings were well on the way out by the time they got much wider

That is strange I thought the fully threaded axle was a throwback to early roller-skates before skateboarding became a big thing

ive never seen any in this brassy gold type finish so it must have just been used on a few early examples for the ads,shame as it looks cool :mrgreen:
if you look closely even those 650 are fully threaded

The 650’s were out before the 651’s which I didn’t know but still surprised how well these are doing

yeah someone must be desperate for those,they usually fetch around £120 tops and £80 for silver ones,maybe they are becoming the next gullwings now that theyre too expensive 8-)

i think they appeared around 79 time,i always thought they were a strange looking truck,they also did a lite version of it as well,they are prob best known for the advert with the proline and rollerballs
