silly lil question

[fracture]

you know in the wheel between the 2 bearings theres a little metal thing. i was just wandering what was it for and do you have to have it. or isnt it important .

[mini_ramp_king]

I know what you mean, i've had it once, it's just extra protection to seperate each bearing.
I never know the difference

[ErrandBoy]

The bearing spacer?

[iamflameboy]

yeah i guess it might be useful to put it in. they wouldn't give it to you for nothing

[big_hair_pimpin]

its the bearing spacer, its just basically to keep them apart, but wheels have a big enough thing in the middle to do it themselves. guess it couldnt hurt.

[Sum1Stupid&Ugly]

yeah...bearing spacer....the only time i used one it smashed my bearing...

[mini_ramp_king]

You can't buy them many places if at all and i think they make no difference at all, maybe they look good from some people's perspective.

[big_hair_pimpin]

well they probably do SOMETHING, we just dont know what. but black panthers come with them, i know that.

i had 4 of em at my house but i wasnt using them so i greased the inside of them and put em in. it made the wheels spin much better and faster around the trucks:) so if ur putting em in try greasing the inside with RP7 OR WD-40

really really really big ones i would guess

They're just little washers to stop the bearings rubbing against the axel nut and gettin all deformed. I think they're called speed rings.

im thinking about getting that "reflex bearing lube" out of a ccs zeen i have. 1 of my buddies told me that itll help with the break in of the bearings. i dont know if i want that help with my bones reds???:confused:

[big_hair_pimpin]

eeh bearing lube doesnt really do too much. ive always just been a fan of a lil spray of some WD40. it works awesome
