Anybody else...signature eagles?

[Mario Rocchio]

Has anybody ovalized the bearing slots of signature eagles? I have dual 125 Hep Gregs and the bearing slots in the front wheel are ovalized. Dont tell me that "eagle just made the slot a little bit bigger for easier bearing installation" because my bearings definatley move inside the slots.

I think it might have something with the wheels being bigger than usual, so there is more leverage/sideforces on the bearings/slots.

I did, but you can fix it in like 2 minutes with some tape
Edit: Mine are 110, not 125

i tried tape, it didnt work too well though. what is the best kind of tape to use?

This.

I think I'm going to get a pair of the 110 hep's though, cus my 110 OG's are so ovalized and chunky, and the hep's be lookin FRASHHHHHHHH.

what i do to fix mine when theyre ovalized is put a little gorrilla glue around the bearing then hammer em in

 

[Mario Rocchio]

well damn...i dont want permanent bearings. hahaha

im getting the eagle wheels spacers soon, will that help at all? since there wont be any play in wheel with the bearings...

 

[Matthew Madera]

dont listen to anyone tell you that eagle bearing spacers or bearings help wheels not be ovalized. its bullshit. i have black on blacks. and they are ovalized to hell. i break bearings because they keep moving in the wheel and it is not sturdy. Also, did i say eagle bearings spacers suck?..i use now and its better than before, loctite, and SHIRT TAGS help ive heard.

i just fixed this ovalized problem on my wheels today. i took the bearings out, and i lightly hit the outside of the bearing slot with a hammer until the bearing fit nice and snug. its worked good so far.

 

[Mario Rocchio]

^^ but it's probably going to be just as bad in no time...

 

[Michael Rankin]

if so, then ill just go at it again haha

 

[proscooter46]

[Mario Rocchio]

Well fuuck, I want to run 125's. Haha
