PRoblem with my threadless zero offset fork

[JGOOD]

im running my .120wall threadless zero offset inward fork and i have a 110 spoked eagle that the bearings fall out on one side(don't know if it matters just saying) and i put the washer that your suppose to with inward forks, and as im riding for like 2minutes my wheel tightens up and don't spin anymore. do i have the washer on the wrong side? or wtf is happening its kinda pissing me off thanks in advance....

 

[Jon.]

no there should be a washer welded on

 

[JGOOD]

ya there is two on the inside but when i tighten the front axle as tight as it can go it wiggles alot like it don't get tight to the fork so they give you extra washers if you have that problem. but when i put the washers on it tightens my axle to the point where my wheel don't move anymore.

 

[Rigel Fuller]

mine does this too. i really dont like it at all but i just ride the wheel loose.

 

[Mark Abramsky]

tape up ur bearings if ur wheel is ovalized use no spacers but make it tight as can go

 

[Joe Riley]

get a shorter front axle.

or use smaller washers.

 

[Rob.]

get a shorter front axle.

or use smaller washers.

This.
Or get more smaller washers (or more bearing spacers)
and put them on the outside of the fork
and tighten it like that
(like making a really tiny peg.)
Also, did you put the washers inside of the fork, or on the outside?

 

[JGOOD]

i put the washer on the small screw in part of the front axle just like it says to do. i tried smaller washers same thing and where would i get a shorter front axle from? It runs fine until i start tricking and landing hard on it like if i whip or barspin like 2times i start to hear a squeaking noise and my wheel locks up.

^^^ mine were like this to its just how eagles usually are

 

[JGOOD]

so i should tape the bearings down and take the spacer out?

 

[alexiorio]

My bearings stuck out of my eagle too far, so I filed down the spacer.
Anyhow don't tape the bearings, they're fine.
I don't know why you'd run a spacer on the inside, my Inwards were fine and I assumed the spacer was for the outside, and that's how I used it.

 

[JGOOD]

no im talking about the spacer inbetween the bearings not the "washer" that comes with the fork

 

[JGOOD]

bump Made a video of my wheel getting jammed up after riding on it for about 5minutes sent a few pictures and videos to inward heres the video so you guys can see whats going on and try and help me fix this problem i just took my brass knuckles off and reverted back to a stock fork....

You want the spacer that goes in between the bearings in your wheel in there.

 

[JGOOD]

ya there in there

 

[Devin Catron]

u have to use a thinner washer

 

[JGOOD]

i tried.... im sending the fork back to inward there replacing it for me so you can lock this thread

LOCK

 

[spitfire0453]

It's prob not even your fork. Your retarded.

 

[JGOOD]

i said lock my problem is fixed inward said it was my fork so your the retard you dont even know me kid so dont talk shit.

I HAD the same problem when i put on a new go 2 wheels
the problem for me was either the bearings or the bearing spacer because it worked fine after i switched them both out

hope it helps^^
