I only have one problem when I tighten the headset a bit like a quarter it won't spin fast but if I undo it back to normal it rattles, and my wheels are fine but the bars bend a tiny bit tryin to found a hacksaw to cut down and the grips have worn down real fast but I still like them

haha i like how you a quarter as "a bit". Yeah i had that problem, and i just did trial and error, tightened it up in "slightest" notch:

rattle? do the same again
no rattle? perfect
too stiff? turn it counter in and even smaller notch.

But someone else may think of a better solution.

wasnt there a thing with eagle saying that redish/pink wheels are easy to dehub because the colour doesnt let the urathene and glue bond or sumthing i remeber but would that be the reason that all the sig wheels are dehubbing

might be but id doubt it. the sig arent designed like the mgp wheels i have(110 fullcores)they have a strip inside the wheel so they dont dehub and ive tryed with hammer and screwdriver with nothing so maybe they just have to do that and they will be fine

ok cool, cause i have the team edition and i was landing sketchy as for the past week and the wheels are still really good, so must just be a bad batch or people are really really really really sketchy

Yeah, I have nearly dehubbed one of my sig wheels, but it was on the back, and i was riding pretty sketchy, the other one though, is still fine :)

Thanks

I just greased my Sig headset and it makes it soooo much better, try it. Its perfecto now :D

If anything the black and white ones dehub the easiest, ive seen more black and whites dehub than any other color.

nah, me and mates have had blacks and whites and they have either dehubbed or chunked faster than the other colored ones my other mates have.

I snapped my allen key already.

yep. I did that too. My only problem with the sig was is only came with one wheel ready to use, and the other one was wrapped in plastic with no bearings... There probs were some in there idk but kids around here rip into the boxes and nik stuff. And the bearings are way to hard to get in and out of the metalcores, cause I got one crooked and still haven't got it out. Still, MGPs are awesome...
