wow what a pointless arguement
they are called bearing slots, not cups. thats what you call it when they are inserted e.g headset cups.
sig eagles do ovalise as most wheels do.
the way shown in the vid is best for mild ovalisation, i learnt this method years ago. the hammering of the core works too, even better when you put both together.
tape hold for a short time if it is bad ovalisation, best method is a strong loctite.

Finally someone that has a brain comes in here. I get what you mean by the whole slots thing, because you ACTUALLY EXPLAINED IT instead of just repeating over and over again. I've just never heard them called slots before.
I've been trying to tell him that it works, but he is 5...and he doesn't listen.
Thanks ferr the input
Love your sig btw. haha
bold 1: I said this. When I said cups I was referring to the plastic inserts that are used in yak wheels. I've already explained this.
tape works fine. Hammering the core is completely useless, until someone can show me a before and after video of that actually fixing ovalisation I'm not going to believe it.
I know it's off topic, but when I mentioned cups this is what I meant. The white plastic CUP that is INSERTED into the wheel, into which the bearings sit. It is a cup. I have explained this before.
And to whoever said I was five, get a bit of maturity. It's obvious that I'm not five and your trying to make me feel inferior by telling me that I'm younger than what I am?
If referring to my age as minimal is all your can argue with then your mother must visit centrelink every Thursday.

are you aware of the properties of aluminium? denting it will make it expand elsewhere and the only way it can is in the slot which pushes it inwards to the bearing and laps over the edge of the bearings and thus holds it in tighter. its really common sense if you think about it. i hope 5 years of breaking every type of part you can think of in every way possible and some not usually possible and studying engineering that i would have some understanding on how things work
I never said that you didn't know what you were on about. I myself am a metalwork student of four years, and looking for an apprenticeship in boiler making welding next year. I don't work very much with aliminium, I know that it is a very soft metal, which never rusts.
If it does fix ovalisation, I cannot see how it is the best way. Tape works fine, and does no damage to the wheel, and can be taken out if need be. You start dis forming the shape of the wheel with a hammer, you cannot reverse if you need to, say you mess it up or you want to change your bearings. It is simply to much risk and work when a piece of tape works just as good.

Where the hell are you going to find pvc that thin...? It would need to be literally paper thin...
