    flared cores, do you change your bearings out a lot?

    It is probably a deffect, I have never had that problem with abecs, so you might want to check with the company.

    Why the F*** do you think that's a wheel problem? Stupid bearing maybe.

    Could be bearing seats that are slightly off-spec. How old are they?

    that's because krypto cores are to soft and they suck.

    the early strikers had slightly oversized cores, I have protos from a year ago and they have very loose seats, but they ride fine.

    just line the inside with poly urethane, let it dry and then pop the bearings back in, the extra layer will keep them in

    I think C. Chaput posted somewhere that the old Strikers have 3 notches in the inside of the core,while the new ones have more...
