my vectors squeaked a lot when I first got them... But it goes away.

I just let my friend have my old cleans, and they just started squeeking for him. I have no idea why, but they never did for me.

you got the bottom of your shoes wet and have them torqued kinda sidways so the rubber rubs on whatever you are grinding, thats the only reason that they ever squeaked for me

Either that or the plates are old... if you ever saw Sloppy Seconds, David Dobyns' plates were slow as hell and squeaked tothemaxx. Same applied to Fordy's shoes

i call it the "wet rubber" effect, and it happens with all new shoes when they're wet or moist (on the grips when you walk)... also if your plates are worn down and the rail is kinda wet (like in sloppy seconds) the rubber on the inside of the shoes will cause the 'wet rubber' effect.... the 3rd way soaps every squeak is when they're new sometimes the screwn/spring deely squeeks when you walk (even if its a hot, dry day)... but it goes away after a while so don't worry about it

nah i mean like when im walking around. like doing day to day things

yah, i had that too, it stops after a while, once the plate gets jammed up there... if it doesnt stop you can always check the screws on the grindplate and make sure their not in too tight or not tight enough

it'l go away. just dont tighten the screws too tight, and try walking around in some dirt to get em nice n dirty under the plate, seems to help. or just grind the shit out of em one day, and it'l help too. but it will return, mine just started up again
