SenioRs problem.

[Brock]

Well today i was riding my scooter and i did a sketchy bri air and my scooter slammed down pretty hard and my wheel just completely seized up, so when i took it off to see what the problem was it wasn't the bearings, but the inbuilt spacers on my Proto seniors, one of them has completely flattened out, its as if its not even there, and the side of the wheel (around the bearing slot) is rubbing on the fork legs. If you don't get what i mean here's a diagram i quickly drew on paint.

I've tried putting a separate spacer in myself and there's no way im gonna be able to fit it in. Is there anything i can do to get them working again or am i fucked?

What about the warranty?
Is it new or old?

 

[Brock]

I bought it second hand off Jamie Bowe, so they're old, I think the warranty is only for the welds anyway.

couldnt you just like glue a washer on it? lol

 

[Brock]

I don't know if that would work, theres just no space for the washer, i think the fork legs need to be stretched apart a bit, but ill give it a try anyway.

 

[JayJayScootsAllDay]

Try stretching them with the coin trick?

 

[Brock]

How would that work on a fork? wouldn't the actual fork need to be threaded?

 

[Kroto]

just try strech it, dont bother with the coin trick

 

[JayJayScootsAllDay]

Oh true, forget I said that. Just pull the legs.

 

[Brock]

Pull them with what? They aint going nowhere with my hands.

 

[Creative]

a pair of vice grips, or pliers.

use a skateboard bearing spacer it works really good and when you get it on with your wheel on put jb weld on the spacer and the fork but be CAREFUL dont get it in your bearings and they it should be good same thing happened to my LSV3 forks they i snapped them 2 days later and lucky didnt give me new ones:/
