Kanya 3 Report post Posted April 3, 2012 Loctite. Just a small blob will do the trick mate :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doctor Hook 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2012 Good advice, all. I'm still new to roller game and inline skates. I guess I need to find the happy middle ground between overtightened and too loose/loosening every game. Will look into loctite as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use loctite.If tightening the wheels to where they wont come loose causes increased bearing friction, then the issue is poor manufacturing tolerance of either the spacers, wheels or chassis. Usually the wheel is at fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
