Ha!
Okay bit of a delay in this journey now... I noticed one of the wheel nuts wasn't screwing in very far.
The axle on that side is many threads too short somehow. So, tightening down a little and it just sheared off the last thread (the only one the nut was biting on).
Oh well!
At least I got some spares for a fiver. The well-worn wheels have to be worth that on their own.
I guess now it's a question whether I actually buy skates and properly try.
(Edit: if I could find spare hangers it would be worth a rebuild, or just use for spares for the next pair)
(Edit edit: found some Rookie hangers dirt cheap online. Ordering a set to see if they fit. Reluctant to pay too much into these. Would be money better elsewhere maybe)
