so i been using my protos for about a week straight. Now all of a sudden my back wheel is making alot of noise. My scooter is no longer dialed as it was 2 days ago. When i spin my back wheel it makes ALOT OF NOISE. LIKE TOO LOUD. ( i know wheels make noise). when i touch the back wheel. it seems ot be moving a little tiny, bit, and i think that must be the problem. The axle is tight, ( not too loose or too tight ) . The wheel also has a bearing spacer in it. What do i do, i want my scooter to be as dialed as possible. please help!

thnx

keep tightening the axel till there is no play in the wheel. by the time i get mine tight enough my wheels barely turn but they still roll fine when you are actually riding it so it doesnt really matter.

What Jason said. Did you try... I dunno, taking out the bearings and lubricating them?

the bearings are broken in
it doesnt really effect the performance of the scooter if the bearings are loud
my bearings are loud but reeaaaaally fast
just lube them

its not the factor of them being loud, its the fact that they move and make my SCOOTER loud, i want my shit to be as dialed as possible.

You don't need to take them out of the hub in order to clean and lube them. The alcohol and lube will go through the top and drip down to the other bearing if you put enough in them. I'd say try cleaning and lubing the bearings.

Is your bearing moving with the axle? Cause if so, it could be a core problem.
Or maybe you dehubbed the PU. I dehubbed an old set of Razor metalcores and they made a shi t ton of noise because of air being pushed in between the rim and PU.

its more of like when i move the wheel from side to side, there is a little click. it isnt dehubbed. and i dont think it is ovalized.. if it were my bearings would be loose..and they aren't. this is a mystery to meh!

This happens to me alott! Like right now my eagles are making a ton of noise and moving. Just take the bearings out clean out the inside of the wheel and put new bearings in and make sure you have a spacer. Thats all you gotta do :)

This is why you grease the bearing slots before you put the bearings in a proto wheel.

After doing this to my old protos, they came out with a couple hits of the hammer.
