Wheels and Brake?

[hoppie333]

For the last week i have been scootering alot, and ive been noticing that everytime i land somthing my scooter's front wheel makes a wierd npice, it souns like it is broken, but the outside dosnt look like anything is wrong with it. I dont know if you guys have had this happen, but it is getting worse. And also my friend was wondering what to do because his brake keeps raddling when he scoots. I need help =/ Thanks

I get that all the time. Just tighten it.

tighten the wheel or the brake. If you are talking about the wheel, i already did that and it didnt work.

for the brake, your friend would probably have to take off the rear brake and bend the spring a bit so it puts more pressure on the brake. this will make it more solid and it shouldnt wiggle much.

as for the wheel, are your bearings good?

Take out the wheel and check to see if theres anything loose in there.

hahah mine were like that, come to find out my FKD had blown up inside my wheel!

i took out the wheel today and there was nothing wrong. I think it might be somthing inside.

maybe get a new spring for ur brake?

 

[jeff26]

you dont really need a new spring im guessing, just compress it so it gets a bit tighter and put your brake back on.

sometimes you just have to put out the spring an than clean it, and after you put it in again everything is smooth and quiet

Since you have changed the bearings , we know its not the bearings. Seems like after to tighten the axel , it still happens. I suggest something which may be quite stupid but it might work. Go for a very big drop and try to like land hard so that theres alot of shock on the scooter.

A drop will have more impact than stairs and requires less courage.Don't need to go too fast. The slower , the harder impact you will get.
