How to Assemble 6in All-Terrain Wheels V2

When assembling your 6'" BKB AT wheels, there are a couple of tips to help you have a quick and easy assembly process.

Organize your parts into groups, there should be:

20 Locknuts, 10 short bolts, 10 long bolts, 6 standard hubs, 2 Geared Hubs, 4 tires, 6 tubes, 4 spacers, 4 valvestems.

When assembling the wheels, there's a couple of things to keep in mind.

The tires are directional, meaning the tread has a specific direction they should rotate.

To avoid any mistakes, use the valve stem as a placeholder, the valve stem should be facing the outside of the wheel.

Place a tube into two of your tires, make sure you have the valve-stem coming out opposite sides.

TIP: Slightly inflating the tube once it's within the tire will allow for more clearance when assembling the rims.

Take any of the 6 standard hubs and push the hub into the tire, lining up the open half-circle for the valve stem.

Take a silver spacer and place it on the inside center of the hub, on the bearing.

Install your next hub on the backside of the wheel, with the silver spacer in the middle and the valve stem properly seated.

Repeat on the second Front Wheel.

Now that you have both hubs onto the tire, it's time to secure them.

Grab 10 locknuts and 10 short bolts.

Place the bolts through the hubs, with the heads on the valve stem side (you don't want the ends of the bolts facing outward)

Get the locknuts started if you can. If you cannot, make sure the hubs are lined up properly, and the bolt is all the way through.

If you notice on the hubs, the locknuts fit perfectly into the hub, you can use this to get the bolts threaded, then finish off the job with a tool/power tool.

Don't tighten down the bolts fully, we'll do that at the end.

Place a tube into the last two of your tires, and make sure you have the valve stem coming out opposite sides.

TIP: Slightly inflating the tube once it's within the tire will allow for more clearance when assembling the rims.

Take a standard hub and push the hub into the tire, lining up the open half-circle for the valve stem.

Take a silver spacer and place it on the inside center of the hub, on the bearing.

Install a geared hub on the backside of the wheel, with the silver spacer in the middle and the valve stem properly seated.

Repeat on the second Rear Wheel.

Now that you have both hubs onto the tire, it's time to secure them.

Grab 10 locknuts and 10 long bolts.

Place the bolts through the hubs, with the locknuts on the geared side.

Get the locknuts started if you can. If you cannot, make sure the hubs are lined up properly, and the bolt is all the way through.

The locknuts fit perfectly into the hub, you can use this to get the bolts threaded.

Be sure to inspect each wheel to make sure there are no tube pinches, hub spacing, or overall bad fits.

A powered tool makes this step much quicker

Pro-Tip: Place something through the spacer, through the axle hole. Ensuring the silver spacer is properly seated when tightening.

Tighten down each wheel in a star pattern. Meaning that after one bolt is tightened, skip the next one in rotation and repeat.

Repeat this process on every wheel.

At this point, the hard part is over. Good job!

We advise testing the tires/tubes before riding. We typically inflate the tires to about 45 psi and let them sit overnight. *To ensure that there are no pre-existing leaks*

After they have been inflated, it's time to ride!

You can adjust the PSI of your wheels according to your terrain or desired grip/feel. When tires run at low PSI, the tread will typically wear faster.

Be careful when riding, and wear your best protective gear.
