I think I tightened my front axle to much because now it isnt wide enough to fit 110mm
What are you on?
Let me get some.

Really though, width has nothing to do with wheel size, all wheels have 24mm hubs.
Also, you can't over tighten a wheel with bearing spacers, and if you aren't using bearings spacers, you're retarded.

Again, that wouldn't have happened with bearing spacers. But it's done now. Bend them back.
And don't tighten the shit out of your wheels. Tighten them just so they make no noise, no tighter.

Personally I use a grade 8 steel allen key head bolt for my back axle, and a stainless steel axle that came with my FrenchID forks for my front axle.

I don't have a problem with loose axles anyway, I constantly re-tighten everything on my scooter, at least once every 2 days.
And it's so worth it.


So my only advice is to check your axles constantly, don't use stock rear axles, and oil your bearings :)
Hope I helped.
