Get a new eagle.

Jk, if your bearings are clicking, maybe theres something wrong with your bearings and you need some new ones?
 
if you're using spacers maybe take them out? if not the slot's ovalised, just put a little bit of tape around the inside of the slot

Tape works best, use a vice to tighten your bearings in so theyre nice and snug.

No movement then, fixed all mine.
Best option is an ipod and a pair of headphones though lol

Its deathclick, and it means your wheel is ovalised, oh my gosh, i know.
You need to get a bit of tape on the bearings and put them in, just so the bearings are a tighter fit, that will fix it.

Just cuz you can't hear it then doesn't mean its a problem. It's just gonna get worse until they just can't take it and the cores will crack and snap.

I dont think so lol.

If your wheel is ovalised and you put some tape in it, you cant ovalise tape, therefore, you completely fix the problem if you do it correctly.

alright. it happens to me all the time. just get some wd40 and squirt some on the bearings and it should be all good for a while!

The other option you have is to take a punch and create ridges in the wheel so that the bearing fits tight. Your bearings should not be able to easily slide in and out of the wheel. I have to do this all the time on old wheels and even on new wheels (made in China). This isn't always a long-term fix, but neither is tape.

Good luck.
