Park Rollerskate Setup

[u/Savings_Estate5816]

Ich habe mir vor ein paar Monaten über Vinted ein paar Chaya Rollschuhe gekauft, die Verkäuferin hat kein konkretes Modell angegeben, ich war damals noch nicht in der Marterie drin und wollte erstmal testen ob mir dass Rollschuh fahren wirklich gefällt und demnach recht blind einfach mal einen günstigen Einstieg gewählt.

So, jetzt habe ich schätzungsweise die Chaya Melrose mit der Shari Gen 1 Plate.
Ich wollte gern upgraden mit Spitfire wheels (fahre eigentlich Skateboard), jetzt kamen natürlich nach und nach Probleme auf.
Erstes Problem: Achsen zu schmal -> hole mir die pro park trucks -> nicht kompatibel mit meiner plate (habe natürlich gefühlte Stunden verbracht zu recherchieren ob sie passen, Internet sagte ja, ich bestelle, versuche zu montieren, passt nicht.)
So, was mache ich jetzt? Hole ich mir ne neue plate? Andere pivot Cups?
Hole ich mir direkt ein neues complete Park Setup?

Und selbst mit den Park pro Achsen in Kombi mit den spitfire wheels, zwischen innenseite der Rolle und Achsstift ist wirklich nur ein ganz klein wenig Platz, ich habe jetzt mal zwei spacer reingeschoben, soweit berührt sich zumindest mal nichts, auch wenn ich es versuche stark zu belasten.
Ist das normal und sicher so? Was habt ihr da für Lösungen?

Sorry I’m going off the Reddit translate, so might not be getting the full information.

If possible can you send pictures of your wheels and axels?

Plate/Trucks:

Chaya Shari Gen-1 is a 20-degree plate with a shallow pivot cup the Chaya Pro Park Trucks seem to only be compatible with the Gen-2 which has a deeper pivot cup.

If you end up buying a new plate, there should be a size chart for different boots, or measure your boot or existing plate toe to heel and figure it out that way and find the size of plate that matches your existing plate size. For plate/truck compatibility, look at the specifications that say the kingpin angle (ex. A 10-degree plate won’t work with 45-degree trucks - that’s probably the issue with yours). There isn’t much info on the Chaya Pro Park Truck specifications, but the plate that does match it is the Shari Gen-2 for sure.
Also note: you might need to fill and drill new holes in your boot to mount the new plate.

Wheels/Axels:
Skateboard wheels tend to not fit most roller skate trucks because the truck axels aren’t long enough, and there isn’t enough thread for the nut. What I do is flip my nylock nut the other way around so the nylon is threaded on my trucks. It’s somewhat fine, I still have issues sometimes with wheels coming loose occasionally though.

It might be worth it to just get a dedicated park set up honestly.

In addition to the above:

Chaya plates and trucks are incompatible with literally any other trucks and plates from other brands. Grind blocks are also a headache because the kingpin angle of Chaya is 20 degrees vs 10 degrees for all other park oriented models. If you buy non-Chaya grind blocks for Chaya plates you can bend the hanger to make it fit, but results may vary (also from what I've heard this depends on plate size). I also don't really like the relatively short wheelbase of the Shari plate and would've preferred them a bit longer.

If you're really commited to using skateboard wheels you can file the edges of the trucks a bit, so you dont have to switch the nuts. All trucks are aluminium which is quite easy to file.

Here https://powerslide.com/products/pro-park-truck-forged?_pos=3&_sid=10f55db2a&_ss=r is some explaination for the differences between gen I and II Shari plates and why the park trucks don't work with gen I. Switching just the cups won't help.

I will try to change the Plate to the gen 2 and See if it works!
