Hello, ive got problem with proto bearing slots..When i got the wheels i put on the bearings and they just fall out..
Ive ridden them like a year now..
IF i tape the bearings it gets soo dialled, no wobble at all, but if i go to the skatepark and ride like half a hour then the wobble gets soo bad..
Ive used all kinds of tape, that transparent tape, that yellow paper kida tape, mcyver tape...But its all the same...
Proto sliders btw..
What should i do?

u need to file down the spacer to fit the wheel as the slots are deeper on protos and put tape around you bearings, i thought the tape idea was stupid but it stops the bearings from crackling and wobbling

Just buy new wheels if they have lasted you this long, I'm sure you wouldnt mind investing the money since the wheels are so good. But, you could always try to super glue them in, I've even used tin foil instead of tape before & it worked pretty well.

Electrical tape works wonderful!

Put some tape around the slot and press the bearings in using a axle with bolt and old bearings on it.

most bearing slots should work fine, if you want to check if they are defected smoot put them on your cats penis and milk it.
