the way you have a scooter is axel goes threw your bearings.... --l l-- but when you tighten your axel your bearing get squeezed a bit --) (-- this meens they will rub and not work correctly. a spacer stops the squeeze so your bearings are tight (dialed) but still work properly. --l=l--

Because without them, your bearings get pinched together. I could explain it but I'd rather just say your wheel barely spins without them, because that's the gist of it.

mine sounds more rattley with spacers, but thats probably cause of my crappy old plastic cores.
