yes it really does, without spacers i exploded(no joke) 4 bearings in less than a week, and the more you tighten the bolt, the slower the wheel gets
with spacers i can tighten the hell outta my bolts and my wheels still spin for a minute, bearings dont explode, way better choice

Yeah, I put an eagle in the front and did up the axle fuck tight and it wouldn't spin, so I took a bearing out, put a spacer in, tightened the axle fuck tight again and it spun fine.

use spacers!!!!!! or else your wheels tighten up and dont spin. Plus it helps to get the bearing out of metalcores
