ive got a mgp signature and ive bought a new metalcore and new bearings, and when i put it on the forks, and tighten the axle up the wheel doesnt spin. it just stays stuck, i have to loosen the axle for it to spin but eventually they axle will come more loose and fall out.

has this happened to anyone else?
please help ASAP

maybe put loctite on it so when it is loose it sticks idk, you could replace it with a bolt and locknut but you would probably have the same problem

yea, and ive pushed in the bearings as much as they can go in. and the spacer rattles.. that could have something to do with it aswell?

yea thats prolly ur problem, cuz bearings are very precise. for example, before i got my bearings situated, i kept hammering my bearing spacer cuz it was too big. then i hammered it too small and it did the same thing as before. then i somehow hammered it a but wider and tadaa. just use razor spacers and tune it

Yeah i have heard people including my mate having trouble with there wheel not spinning with sig spacers, so if you have any other spacers say like the ones that can move around (not shaped like a disk) then put them in and see if it works.
