How Tight??

[nitroRCs]

Hey guys, i have been riding my scooter (Razor pro) now for a while and im LOVING IT!!!...i can now do tailwhips 360 ect ect...but when i go to the skate park some people dont do there wheels up very tight some do them up a little tight and the others do them up as tight as they can, at the moment im doing them as tight as i can as if i put them loose they keep coming loose and i have to take a allen key around every were, but i find if there not done up very tight then the wheel just keeps on spinning but when there really tight the wheel dosent spin anywere near as much??

...so could you tell me whether i should keep doing my wheels up REALLY tight or loose cause i really wanna know

Thankyou

P.S could you tell me how tight you do them for your scooter, i want AS MUCH speed as i can get?...so do i do them tight or loose?

put the spacer in the middle of your 2 bearings and tighten it as tight as you can

Works like a charm

and you could get better bearings at your local skate shop... get reds there like 12 bucks and they are awesome

even with the spacer it wont spin as fast when you just spin the wheel, but when your riding it will. dont ever ride anything loose

less you want easy access

Don't see what tightness has to do with access...
But oh well.

Everything tight, the pressure on the wheel will cause the bearings to spin no matter how tight it is

if your like me. you shouldnt care. i have to switch bearings every three days. i destroy them=[. if there smooth and dont click. idc.

apparently some guy said to tighten them as much as they go so they dont spin and then loosen them like the tiniest tiniest bit then they go good(apparently), also this may have been something for skateboard wheels i forget i heard it a while back

Use a spacer, clean your bearings (soak in petrol)

tighten as hard, if it doesnt spin fast it will when you ride.
