spacer loose

[M.G.P]

i used my bearing press to preess my bearings in my eagles and the spacer is loose still and its undialed, what do i do?

Honestly, you suck it up or put washers in there. My wheels are like this, and it just plain sucks. Nothing much you can do about it, but just remember when you hear it, it's not anything bad, really.

I don't get how bearing spacers can be loose. If it's too small, then your bearings just compress in and it ends up fine. If its too big, then it's not even loose in the first place.

YOUR DUMB
And just get a bigger spacer and make sure its level or a little bit less then the inside ring when you put your the first bearing in in trust me it will work if the spacer is to big sand it down with griptape or the ground intill its perfect.

Spoked Eagles suck. My Yak Scat was 10x better than my spoked Eagles.

Yes they can be loose. The bearing slots are tapered in the middle, and the bearings can only compress so far. And it just so happens that the spacer isn't long enough to make contact with both bearings.

You can compress bearings until they don't spin anymore. One time I didn't have any bearing spacers so I just went without them and I actually compressed the bearings so much that the inner cage deal popped out and the balls went every were. A spacer would have to be like half the size of a normal one to be loose.
