Kickboard Reloaded Deck Screws: Signs They Need Replacing

Learn the real signs that your Kickboard Reloaded deck screws need replacing, how to tell them apart from other wobbles, and when a simple tighten or part swap is enough.
Quick answer
Replace your Kickboard Reloaded deck screws when they are visibly worn, stripped, or no longer hold torque after a proper tighten. If the screws are intact and the deck still wobbles, the cause is likely elsewhere.
Why deck screws wear on the Reloaded
Deck screws on the Kickboard Reloaded take repeated load from riding, and they can loosen or wear over time. The screws themselves may develop rounded heads or worn threads, especially if they have been tightened repeatedly without checking the threads. A loose screw that keeps backing out after tightening is a sign the threads or the receiving hole may be worn, not just that the screw needs another turn.
When tightening is enough and when it is not
A single loose screw that tightens and stays put is usually a maintenance issue, not a replacement one. If the same screw loosens again within a few rides, or if the head feels soft when you turn it, stop tightening and inspect the screw and its hole. Replacing the screw is the right move when the head is stripped or the threads are visibly worn; if the hole itself is damaged, a new screw may not hold and you should consider a different repair.
Other causes of deck wobble to rule out first
Deck wobble on a Reloaded can come from several places. Before you replace screws, check that the deck is seated correctly and that all screws are present. A missing screw, a cracked deck, or a loose folding mechanism can all feel like screw problems. If the wobble persists after tightening all screws to a snug fit, the issue may be the deck itself or another component, and new screws alone will not fix it.
Diagnose your deck screws in four steps
- Symptom: one screw keeps loosening: Tighten the screw snugly and ride briefly. If it stays tight, monitor it. If it loosens again quickly, the screw or its hole is likely worn. Mark the screw and check it after your next few rides to confirm the pattern.
- Symptom: screw head is stripped or feels soft: If the driver spins without gripping, or the head looks rounded, stop tightening. Replace that screw with a new deck screw for the Reloaded. A stripped head can worsen with force, so replace rather than retighten.
- Symptom: deck still wobbles after all screws are snug: Check for missing screws, a cracked deck, or a loose folding joint. If all screws are present and tight, the problem is not the screws. Do not replace screws as a guess; inspect the deck and joint first.
- Symptom: new screw will not tighten: If a new screw spins freely, the receiving hole is likely damaged. Stop and consider a different repair option or professional help. Replacing screws will not fix a damaged hole, so reassess before buying more parts.
