bearing problem

i got a new set of reds bearings about a week ago and yesterday i needed to get new ones again because they were making noises and running unsmooth like my old ones did, they were ok for the first hour or so today but now they are making noises and running unsmooth again for the 3RD time! + i never ride through dirt or water and im not a rough rider or sketchy rider either, the bearings i have are bones reds and the wheels rob mc moran eagle hollowtechs, and its on both wheels, any suggestions to what the problem could be, is it my wheels or is it both?

need help:(:confused:

Let them break in, my headset bearings did the same thing for the first week or two I was riding it. Just give it time and see what happens.

bones reds do not come with much oil in them get bones speed cream and put them in your bearing before you ride them for the first time and if your wheel is clicking then you may have death click and its not your bearings just put some thing between your wheel and bearing and you should be ready to ride again hope this helps. oh bones speed cream is only like 5 buck for a little bottle

Okay. I think I see part of the problem. Are the bearings moving back and forth? So if they are, the first problem is, is that your wheels are ovalized. Second of all, you need to sand down some of your bearing spacer so the bearings fit in the wheel better. Same exact things happened to me. They are such shitty wheels.
