How to assemble a fingerboard?
Step 1:
Put screws into the holes in the deck.
Step 2:
Use the assembly tool to mount the trucks to the deck. The centre nuts in the trucks should be facing towards each other as shown in Fig. 8.
Step 3:
Fit the βspacerβ onto all the axles of the trucks - it is a small metal tube, see fig. 2.
This step applies only to 32mm WoodClub REGULAR trucks, other trucks do not have βspacers".
Step 4:
Fit the wheels onto the axles of the trucks and mount them with nuts.
Step 5:
Peel off the grip tape and cut half of the white/yellow base paper to make it easier to stick to the deck.
Step 6:
Stick the grip tape onto the deck, so that it covers the entire deck.
Step 7:
You can cut the grip tape usingΒ 3 possible methods:
- file - file in the direction of the arrow in fig. 6
- cutter - move the cutter in the same direction as the file, see fig. 7
- scissors - cut grip the tape according to the shape of the deck
Step 8:
Your fingerboard is now assembled and ready for a great ride!

Tips from our professionals:
- It is harder to screw the screws into trucks for the first time because they have to cut a thread β we recommend to use a classic large screwdriver and it's super easy.
- By tightening and releasing the nut at the wheel, you can set how much the wheel should rotateΒ
- Do not tighten the nuts completely to 100%, so that it does not slow the wheels too much.
- Do not over tighten the auto-block nuts as it would damage the nuts permanently.
- By tightening and loosening the nut in the middle of the trucks, you can adjust the stiffness of the truck suspension.
