Hi, my wheels squeak when I'm rriding but its only if I push down abit. I've tried replacing bearings but its still doing it?

You have to buy new wheels probably, same happened to my plastic cores.

 

[Hunter P]

you just assumed it was plastic cores?

You probably ovalised your wheels. You'll need to get new wheels to fix the problem. Basically what it happened was the wheels are in an oval shape so the bearings don't sit in the wheels right, causing them to move around.

Thats not what ovalisation is.
hahahahahahahahaha
That made my night.
On the real, ovalisation is when the bearing slots stretch, causing your bearings to sit in the wheel loosely, making your scooter less dialed, your wheels are probably dehubbing, the squeak is the air getting pushed out from between the PU and the core, I've been riding my gripper like that for over a year now, just don't worry about it.

Mine squeak too. There is a gap in the PU like Parrish said. No big deal.

Thats how mine were, i just took out the cap of the bearings with out taking the full thing off then cleaned em then reloaded with grease . Now they are good as New do what i did. Its probobly from dirt or not enough grease in the first place

happens alot more to plastic cores

Yeah, there plastic cores there pretty rubbish wheels! There the ones that come witht the grit extremist 2. A lot of slamm wheels do the same thing they squeak but a lot louder!
