Endless Frame Locks are the missing link for unlocking maximum performance from your 165 mount frames.  Specifically designed for the lateral mounting slots on all Endless 165 frames, our patent pending Frame Locks minimize unwanted play in the frame-to-boot bolted joint while simultaneously improving mechanical coupling between the frame and boot.  

This part was engineered to keep 165 frames from shifting when subjected to intense or abusive skating.  If you struggle to keep your frames secured in place, or have always wished there was a single perfectly centered hole for mounting your frames this is your solution.

Insert these parts into the front and rear mounting slots from inside the frame in place of standard washers.  The frame mounting bolt passes through the hole in the Frame Lock.

Learn more about why Frame Locks are superior to standard washers.

Absolute Frame Stability: Frame Locks restrict frame movement by securing frame mounting bolts at a fixed position. The usual play in frame mounting slots is significantly minimized.

Frame Shifting Safeguard: The Frame Lock prevents large frame shifts if mounting bolts loosen slightly from rigorous use or neglected maintenance.  They convert the usual friction joint to one that more appropriately places the bolt in shear and tension.

Precision Alignment: A single tightly toleranced thru hole in each Frame Lock ensures precise lateral and angular frame positioning/alignment.

Superior Clamping Force: The clamping force of the mounting bolt is distributed over a greater surface area, which reduces frame deflection under load at the base and improves coupling of the frame to the boot.  This translates directly to enhanced power transfer, responsiveness, and stability for jumping.

Features

Centered Frame Locks have a centered hole.  

Offset Frame Locks provide an offset hole for laterally shifted frame positioning.  

A combination of Centered and Offset parts may be used to achieve a 0.7 degree angular shift in alignment.  Or two Offset Frame Locks may be used in opposite directions to achieve a 1.4 degree angular shift.

A set of centered Frame Locks is included with Endless Swan Frames.

Boot Compatibility

There are three primary mounting standards: 165 raised heel, UFS, and Trinity. It's important to know which mounting interface your boot has so that you can choose the correct Endless frame. These three mounting types are not interchangeable with one another. In other words you cannot fit a Trinity frame to a UFS boot, nor can you fit a UFS frame to a 165 raised heel boot.

What sets Endless apart

Dual setup design

We have engineered our frames to be not only lightweight and strong, but also to be versatile and fun. Multiple setup options allow one frame to suit a variety of skating styles. Go from a maneuverable and zippy 4-wheel setup to a 3-wheel triskate cruiser in minutes.

Balanced Rocker 4-wheel setup

Balanced Rocker

The 4-wheel setups on each frame feature our unique recipe of rockering that balances front-to-back stability with responsiveness and maneuverability. This greatly enhances what we like to call the "Whee!" Factor. And all those swively tricks you've been wanting to learn.

Flat Triskate 3-wheel setup

Flat Triskate

The 3-wheel setups on each frame are configured flat for the best power transfer when cruising down a trail or commuting across the city. We have minimized the ride height for maximum stability. The triskate experience doesn't get more solid than this.

For all skill levels

Our frames are meant for skaters of all skill levels.  They immediately provide a more satisfying blading experience, especially for beginners, due to the low ride height, and ease of manueverability.  Turning becomes more intuitive.

Vivid color

All of our frames are available in multiple colorways to complement your personal style and make your setup pop. Every year we announce new high end custom color finishes.

Brake compatible

We want bladers of all skill levels to enjoy our frames so we designed them to be compatible with readily available Powerslide Urban Brakes.

Time tested design

The best designs require time. We meticulously refine our frame designs through a deliberate and long-term testing process involving fellow skaters across the globe. We iterate multiple times to optimize the performance and deliver an experience thoroughly vetted by experienced skaters. We don't believe in cutting corners or rushing products to market.

Made to last

Our frames are precision machined from 6061-T6.  The smooth outer surfaces cleanly cloak an internal structural design that optimizes strength and weight.  Wall thicknesses of 4 mm provide stiffness and durability.  The parts are bead blasted, anodized, and laser marked to achieve a beautiful finish that will last.
