Lucky SMX problem

[Jake D]

Ok, so I've been running a blunt peg on my smx for the past year, and ever since i got new wheels and bearings the bearings have been rubbing against the inside spacer. It fucked my old smx up to the point that i cant ride it anymore, by the time i figured out what was wrong it was too late. now i have a new fork and the same problem persists. any ideas on what could be wrong? cause honestly I have no idea. It's not overtightening because it rubs even without a bolt

this is what it looks like on both sides

Are u running pegs with spacers?

The bearings in your wheels might not be in enough. Otherwise, you could file down the spacer. Happened to my Phorx and I just grinded them off and used washers.

yea I have a bearing spacer on the outside so the peg doesnt push up against the fork. im starting to think maybe the bearing is broken? and no i pushed them in all the way, ive had that problem before. and fuck that, I'm not paying 85 bucks for a fork that I still have to modify for it just to simply hold a wheel

 

[Grant Schofield]

This happened to mine its just because the bearing is made of a harder material then the fork

It's a brand new fork.....I've had 3 smx's in the past and have never had this problem

Maybe your bearings sieze and spin around. Maybe u should lube/replace tpur bearings and see if it still does it.
