finally sr is back up..
so i was riding and i started hearing like little rattly clickey noises from my wheels and i thought it was my bearings so i switch them to some pig ceremics and when i was putting them in they just kept falling out of the socket.. and suggestions

yeh yeh rob you know it sooooooo good.....

Mark, it can be that the bearing fitting is ovalized or that its bigger because of some other reason, can be a few.
To solve the problem of a oversized bearingfitting you can put some "glue" arround your bearing before putting them in. Best is to use a removeable locktide glue.
Also there is size difference in some bearings as there is also in different bearingfittings.
Anyway this locktide works absolute !

Stop shitting on Eagle. i'm fucking sick of it. have you even owned a pair of them?

and i love how you're saying proto wheels are better when HALF OF THE FIRST BATCH DEHUBBED COMPLETELY, and pretty much everyone is breaking bearings in them.

Maybe your bearing hole got fucked up when you were putting your bearings in or takeing them out, causing the rattling and clicking.

Try wrapping electrical tape around your bearings.

k ill try doing that if it makes the sound again i dont want to go throught the hassle of taking of my reinforcments it seems ok for now ..also if i put electrical tape it wont mess them up at all cuz they are really nice bearings so i dont want to mess them up

wtf? thats the worst tape to use because it flexes. stop tryng to get you post count high. (im not trying to get mine higher.)

masking tape dude. do like 2 layers on your bearing and put the bearing on the ground and step on the wheel on the bearing so it goes in and use an axle to make sure it in all the way

Little bit of glue on the outside of the bearing before sliding it back in, Or a layer of elec tape along the outside of the bearing before sliding it in.

i found the most retarted way (but it works) (only for bad cases)
get a plastic bottle ,a big 1 ,
and cut it so it goes around the bearing slot tightly
,but cut it wider than the bearing slot and if it is done right should work and cut off the stuff that sticks out its pretty hard to get it right but as i said if done right it should work
but glue works for small cases
NOT tape,tape falls out easily
and it is a posibility that u may of tighten the wheel too hard
its happened to mine and a few friends of mine]
to fix this prob the spacer between the bearing
File it down or grind it down
be careful when u do but u dont wnna do it too much or the bearings will overtighten and may break the bearings ,
DO NOT do this if u dont have spare spacers in case u grind it too much

Update i found a even harder way but def work=D.Hammer and chisel make some indents with h&c in the bearing slots
(hit it till a small part of the metal sticks out)
complex yes but it works i learnt this when i worked at a mower shop? ask for more info
