Fitting MBS ROCKSTAR PRO's

If you want to pimp your ride and increase the strength of your hubs without adding kilos, then Rockstar Pro Aluminium Hubs are for you. Heres a few tips on how to install these new hubs.

Tools: 3mm Allen Key
7mm Socket
5/8" Spanner
Lubrication (eg WD-40)


The first thing you need to do is to pull the hub apart. You will notice that their a little bit different to the traditional Rockstar hubs. You should have the hub in two halves and 3 different sized spacers.

Put the tube inside the tire with just enough air to hold its shape.

Place the biggest spacer inside the tire with the tube valve through the hole. This can be tight so you may want to use some lubrication and make sure the tube or valve isn't been twisted or pulled.

Put one side of the hub on to the tire and place the middle spacer in to position.

Now put the other side of the hub on and bolt both sides of the hub together. While doing the bolts up be careful not to pinch the tire or tube between the hub/spacer, and make sure the valve is not fouling on any spokes.

Slide one bearing on to the axel then push the hub on to it, you might want to use some lubricant because this is tight.

Place the small spacer on the axel and slide it inside the hub followed by the second bearing. you may once again need lubricant. If the bearing is too tight you can use a soft mallet to tap it, or screw the wheel nut on to push it in.

Tighten the wheel on to the board, pump it up and repeat the steps for the next three wheels.

All that's left to do is to go get some massive air and ensure these babies because the moment you turn you head your board will be sitting on bricks.
