How to put a wheel on an Ultimate Truck

M4 x 40mm Socket Capped TORX Bolt - Marine Grade Stainless steel with locking paste

TRAMPA's M4 x 40mm Socket Capped Bolt is made using A4 Marine Grade Stainless Steel. This very special Bolt is specifically made for TRAMPA & is used to assemble the TRAMPA PHATLADZ HUBS. The socket capped head of the Bolt screws neatly though the Spokes & into the fixing point in the Rim, eventually screwing  into the M4 nut on the other side easly.

Weighing just 3 grams each, they are very lightweight, look very sexy & are totally non corrosive. Using Marine Grade Stainless Steel, means these Bolts will never rust on you! They can cope with the most harsh of weather conditions & they laugh in the face of sandy/salty beaches or muddy freeride tracks, which do turn other manufacturers Nuts & Bolts into corrosive rusting wrecks! As well as being Non Corrosive all of the TRAMPA Bolts are diped in  BLUE THREAD LOCKING PASTE to ensure an extra strong secure fix between the Nut & the Bolt.

M4 x 16mm TORX Socket Capped Head Bolt ISO 4762 Marine Grade Stainless Steel

TORX Screws are less likely to strip out when compared to a hex screw, because of the way the load is distributed and applied between the tool and the hardware. Because of this load distribution, the height of the head of the bolt can be reduced - making them nice & flush. 

Made from A4 Marine Grade Stainless Steel, all of the nuts, bolts & screws used in a TRAMPA board have proven to be up to the challenge of holding everything together. Using Marine Grade Stainless Steel also means these Bolts will never rust on you! They can cope with the harshest of weather conditions & will laugh in the face of sandy/salty beaches or muddy freeride tracks - which can turn other manufacturers’ nuts & bolts into corroded rusting wrecks!

Wherever possible, we dip all our bolts into BLUE THREAD LOCKING PASTE, to ensure an extra strong & secure fix between the nuts & bolts.

M4 Nyloc Nut - Marine Grade stainless steel Nylock Nut - Hub Nuts

Introducing TRAMPA's M4 (4mm Shaft) A4 Marine Grade Stainless steel Nylock Nut. This Nylock Nut will fit to all M4 Bolts regardless of their length. This A4 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Nut will never rust on you! It is fitted with the world renowned NYLOCK System (Nylock is a nylon locking system where Nylon is pasted into the threads of the nut so that when the bolt is tightened into the nut the nylon grabs the thread of the bolt holding it locking it in the thread ensuring things do not vibrate loose or fall off when being ridden on rough terrain like that which a Mountain or Kiteboard endures. The NYLOCK thread locking security System is fitted as standard to all TRAMPA Nuts. 

This Nut is used to fix to tighten to the M4 Socket Capped Bolts that hold the HYPA & SUPERSTAR hubs together. To fit the nuts M4 use an 8mm spanner or  8mm Ratchet Socket to turn the Nut onto the Bolt whilst holding the bolt with a 3mm Allen Key. Always ensure your Nuts & Bolts are tight before you ride!

This INNOVA Inner tube will fit into all known 8 inch tyres as well as most ATB hubs on the market. It comes as expected with an anti dust valve cap! Punctures Suck! Its always possible to get a puncture in the environments we ride in, so always carry a spare if you don't want your day spoiling...

MEGASTAR 8 CS Rims Measure 3.75 x 2 Inch. The bearings are positioned CENTRE-SET & accept all 3.75 Rim Tyres - Black

It was hard to ever imagine that TRAMPA's SUPERSTAR hub could ever be improved upon - but that's just what we’ve gone’n’done! The Super Sexy MEGASTAR Rims are a PRO version of the already amazing SUPERSTAR Rim!

CNC Milled from a solid block of T6 aluminium, polished, anodised (in 10 different colours!) & logo-ed up for a pimp appearance - all of the various MEGASTAR Rims we offer fit the regular SUPERSTAR SPOKES, so if you already use Superstars & fancy an upgrade, you’ll only need to purchase the Rims to make the swap.

MEGASTAR Hubs can handle the highest inflation pressures of any small wheel on the market. Increasing inflation rates ultimately increases maximum roll speeds, making these hubs the perfect option for the insane among us!

MEGASTAR Rims have extra threaded bolt holes for wheel balancing purposes -  the extra holes allow you to screw in 2x extra M4x16mm Socket cap TORX Bolts directly opposite the valve - which in turn counter-balances, creating a smoother rotation &  faster spin rate!

Megastars are available in a variety of sizes, with different spoke/bearing positioning for a number of different applications!

CENTER-SET Bearing position, which is a direct aluminium replacement of the original plastic-injection Superstar rim. Keeping the bearings centrally-located within the hub leaves the wheelbase unchanged, for a nimble feeling & riding board.

Megastar 8 CENTRE SET RIMS fit all 3.75x2 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Skinny BB-Star Spokes.

OFF-SET Bearing position moves the wheels further from your feet - widening the boards wheelbase, which in turn increases stability - perfect for large people & small Boards. Initially created in conjunction with narrower Truck Models (12-Fifties & Mini Spring Trucks) in order to grant clearance for bigger tyres or rear-mounted battery boxes.

Megastar 8 OFF SET RIMS fit all 3.75x2 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Skinny BB-Star Spokes.

Megastar 9 OFF SET RIMS fit all 3.75x2.5 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Phat BB-Star Spokes.

DEEP-DISH Rims are as pimp as it gets! These elongated rims both widen the wheelbase of a board as well as the contact patch of the tyres - improving both stability & grip! While also granting extra clearance for fitting larger tyres or rear-mounted battery boxes.
 

Megastar 8 DEEP DISH RIMS fit all 3.75/4 x 2.5 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Skinny BB-Star Spokes.

Megastar 9 DEEP DISH RIMS fit all 3.75/4 x 3 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Skinny BB-Star Spokes.

Further pimp up your Megastar hubs with M4 Socket Cap spacers - anodised in 10 colours!

TRAMPA's MEGASTAR Hubs can be used in conjunction with any of the Pulleys that fit to SUPERSTAR hubs.

It's possible to fit any Bearing size TRAMPA offers into MEGASTAR Rims. As Standard the Superstar / Megastar spokes accept Mountainboard bearings for 12mm Axles - these bearings can be fitted with Reducer Sleeves that allow the hub to fit to 9.525mm Axles. If you use the Special Spoke Support Spacer into the assembly of the hub, you can fit to 8mm Longboard Axles - where hundreds of top quality bearing options are available to choose from.

BLUE Anodised CLASSIC 5 SPOKE - Extruded T6 Aluminum Heat treated & CNC Precision milled fits all SUPERSTAR & MEGASTAR Wheels

TRAMPA SPOKES fit all SUPERSTAR & MEGASTAR Hubs. TRAMPA's Spokes are produced using the finest 6061 'Aero-Grade' Aluminum, which to maximise strength & performance are produced with the use of an Extrusion Die, which means TRAMPA spokes are made in one continuous piece before being sliced like bread to the required thickness. Before being sliced the extruded profile is T6 Heat Treated making the resulting Alloy extremely strong. 

Once sliced the Raw Spokes are sent to the CNC machine to mill out the bearing housing perfectly. Before being anodised the spokes are bead polished which not only gives a top quality finish but also removes all & any sharp edges, then finally sent away to the Anodisers to have the relevant striking colours added for top surface protection.

Check your spoke support spacers, O-Rings and hardware are in good condition when changing spokes & ensure all of your nuts & bolts are tight before you ride!

CUSTOM Spoke Support spacer - Installing a Spoke Support Conversin Spacer allowsyou to fit SUPERSTAR or MEGASTAR hubs to 9.525mm & 8mm Axles such as Evolve, Boosted & many others

This is the TRAMPA SUPERSTAR Spoke Support Spacer. It is used to gain extra strength for the SUPERSTAR wheel design by adding support to the Aluminum Spokes when the wheel is being used under high inflated pressures...

Precision injection moulded, using original DuPont materials, this Spacer provides essential support for the Spokes in the Superstar hubs. There is a Deep Shelf on the Rim of the Spacer which pushes into the internal side of the Spoke, positioning the Spacer/spoke perfectly for assembly. The thick plastic ensures a very strong support platform maximising Bearing support & spin rate always....

Ensure all your nuts & bolts are tight before riding!!

SLICK CUT 8 inch Tyre measure 3.75x 2x 8 Inch or 200x50mm with 3.75 inch Rim fits all 3.75 inch Hubs KEVLAR Banded - GREY

Weighing in at just 280g INNOVA's 8 Inch SLICK-CUT STREET TYRE is the lightest, fastest 8 Inch tyre on the market today!

Its not just any old Tyre! Contained within its slick cut surface hides a few tricks that have drastically reduced the over all weight, whilst improving performing performance by allowing higher inflation pressures than ever before!!

Usually a tyres construction consists of 2 steel bands (The steel bands help to keep the tyres shape & allow tyre to slip onto the hub) being held together with 'piano string'esk' kind of thread (thick & Heavy). This inner construction is placed into a rubber mould, hot rubber is applied & forming machines make the final profile for the requirement. BUT instead of using the heavy Steel Bands the TRAMPA SLICK CUT TYRE uses Ultra lightweight KEVLAR Bands. KEVLAR is one of the strongest materials known to man & is commonly found in premium bicycle tyres which are known to inflate to well over 100psi. The KEVLAR Bands are held together using the highest quality Thread there is! High quality thread is incredibly thin therefore ultra light weight whilst not forgetting amazingly strong at the same time! As the Thread is thinner but stronger we are able to use more thread, making it even more stronger! This method is known as a high TPI (Threads per Inch), the TRAMPA SLICK CUT IS Very HIGH TPI!! 

To save even more weight TRAMPA's SLICK CUT Street Tyre is coated in top quality premium rubber using quite a hard compound that was originally designed for bicycles when road racing. As the Slick Cut tyres construction is so strong & because we have used a premium rubber supplier for our coating (INNOVA), we have been able to reduce the amount of rubber used for the cosntruction of the SLICK CUT Tyre to just 2 Layers of rubber (2PR) BUT with all of the upgrades & improvements we have put into its construction the Slick Cut tyre has been 4PR rated! 

This double reenforcement, triple weight saving combination allows the rider to inflate to much higher than normal inflation pressure's, thus naturally increasing top end roll speeds allowing the rider to go faster than ever before!  All this whilst reducing the over all weight of the tyre by 1 third of its original! 1 third of the weight becomes incredibly substantial when 4 of these tyres are attached to any one board. Higher roll speeds & lighter weight boards is the best of both worlds with this product!

The SLICK CUT TYRE has a perfectly smooth rounded profile with a very wide center bead making it our stock tyre for the out coming TRAMPA DIRT SCOOTER. Its profile is designed to help the rider max out top end roll speeds & maintain movement! A smooth profile & high inflation capability means this tyre is the perfect option for high speed street rolling freaks as the grip pattern is working best on hard packed surfaces such as Skate parks, Tarmac or Asphalt!
