hey guys i have a razor pro model and i removed the wheels to spraypaint it once i installed the wheels back in a week or so later the BACK WHEEL had all the flat sides on it, which pretty much turned it into a square... so i bought new wheels and the same problem the BACK WHEEL and i just bought new yaks and the BACK WHEEL has a small flat side and i want to stop it before it has any others... is it the way i installed the back wheel wrong?

no. you press your break too hard. dont use it as much or as hard and you wont flat spot your wheel.

ahem "fixed"

to add on to that, dont "skid". Just using your brake wont do it. Slamming on your brake and sliding with the brake pressed down or braking way to hard instead of gradually. Just be gentle

the way i get flatspots out is put the wheel in an old set of forks and hold it to the bench grinder
