wheel/bearing problem

[Ethan_]

i have river glides with speedy lunatic abec 5 bearings and they make a noise but its not too prevalent, but my back wheel spacer rattles and buzzes a tiny bit even though it is fully tightened. And when i hit the wheel one way its loose and rattaly but when i hit it the other way it makes little to know noise. Any one has this problem? And my compression comes loose a tiny bit, im running tilt scs reventon and tilt legacys

Wheels/Bearing: could be that one of your bearings is broken
SCS: try putting a 2-5mm (0.1-0.2 inch) spacer in

what deck are you riding and what does your back axle look like? like a bolt and locknut or like a stock razor axle?

i think its the wheel spacer because i switched the back one to the front (tilt fork) and its buzzes. Im using a 6 mm axle with a locknut

try new bearings

the internal diameter of a 608 bearing is 8mm? if you're using a 6mm axle that would explain any noises and you've probably royally fucked your bearings by now if you ride hard.

assuming "lunatic bearings" are made by a skateboard company...

Some skateboard bearings come with bearing spacers that are slightly bigger in diameter or smaller in length. this causes the rattle noise you hear; its because the bearing spacer has room to move up and down or side to side and "rattle".So all you should need to fix the problem is new bearing spacers.

Also check the diameter of your axle.
