which part of the rim broke? was it the 15mm axle model? I am about to buy a new rear wheel off them with 15mm axle to hopefully fix my wheel breaking problem.

well the bearings in the rim are stock and dont move with fingers. Gunna get some good quality bearings to replace. Thanks for the help i tried with a screwdriver but didnt budge.

Just got a new wheel and i cant even move the bearings with my finger they are that stiff. Do they have to wear in or what? I was going to replace them before i installed the wheel but cant seem to get them out. Any ideas on how to remove the stock bearings and replace in the back wheel?

after the axle bends it will cause more damage to occur which will result in a whole new wheel setup like me and crankin had to do.

well was ridin my bike yesterday still with the loose wheel and it broke same as the last one. Well time for the 15mm conversion now. Where you get your parts from crankin?

yeah i've already broke 1 hub and bent 2 axles. The other hub is on its way out as theres a fair bit of bearing movement in the hub itself. Hoping all my sprocket and disk will fit on the new wheel with 15mm axle i will be buying soon off ebay.

have you damaged any hubs? what sort of bike do you have? Let me know how you go about swapping the 12mm for a 15mm and what you had to change.

Depending on your shock most have an adjusted which you can screw to shorten or lengthen your shock.

thinking about gettin a new wheel with 15mm axle. But the only problem is the slot in the swingarm is only big enough for a 12mm axle. Was just gunna drill it out bigger. Chain wasnt overtightened its stretched and always comes loose straight away. Need a new high quality chain too.

Have you checked the rear axle for bending? do you jump the bike? I only do very small jumps and the axle has bent on the sprocket side.

yeah spoke with Linda from MSO today and she notified me that it is a problem with the bearings in the wheel which is causing them to break. They should have the problems sorted soon. I am going to be getting a new wheel with 15mm high tensile axle and should fix the problem.

I have worked out the problem, and i think i know the cause. Because of the weak axles supplied with these bikes, the axle ends up bending fairly quickly and it bends at the bearing area causing along of pressure of the bearings and bearing housing on the hub. The bearings are meant to sit...

noticed on my bike today that if i grab the wheel i can move it sideways and the movement is coming from the bearing area. The bearings arent wrecked its like the wheel isnt done up tight enough to hold the bearings in place or the part which holds the bearings in place has expanded allowing it...

hmm. might be time for some new forks.

i have the same problem and i think its in the same spot. If i put the front brakes on a rock the bike i can see the bottom on the forks moving inside the part which holds the axle. I have a MSO bike
