It got in a pile of mud unfortunately. Any tips on how to fix it? They'll spin but stop really fast and it's impossible to ride.

Answer 1

you dont need new wheels you need new barings!

its wat makes the wheels spin!

Answer 2

you need to replace the bearings. if you can't get the bearings out then you'll have to replace the wheels and bearings.

to avoid this from happening again, clean and lubricate your bearings once a week.

to clean them, take out all the bearings, get an old rag, and get a little part of it wet. wipe the bearings down with the wet part of the rag until they look good. then after you've done that, dry it with a dry spot of the rag, and to make sure, blow on them. then lubricate them. then you can but them back in the wheels.

Answer 3

You need to replace your wheels. The ball bearings are either stuck with mud particles or are rusted. New wheels will have clean ball bearings that will spin cleanly and freely.

Answer 6

The bearings are either dirty or shot.  Try cleaning them with denatured alcohol first.  If that doesn;t work, then they need to be replaced.
