does it still make the noise? what does it sound like?

it could have been a leaf or rock sliding stuck between your hanger and the ground, or your bearings.

maybe english isn't their first language?
and how many people mix up their there and they're?
and do you know how many still haven't realized alot isn't a word?
or how many write "nite" instead of "night?"

ease up.

usually when wheels growl..you are at a high rate of speed and you are attempting to turn faster than the wheels can handle. Specific instances could be a gaurdrail is approaching or maybe even a car.

Sometimes, when a spacer comes loose inside a wheel, it spins around, but only when there is weight on that wheel... It's happened to quite a few of my set-ups. You need to grab your wheel and twist it so the bearings can seat themselves properly then re-tighten your wheels.

Speed Vents kind of howl or whistle at higher speeds, I think it's the core or the shape of the hub. Not sure if that's what you're hearing, or if it's something else.

Oh yes, I do so enjoy the whirring sound of Speed Vents at 35+

**Longbord1** · 05-10-2007 07:25 PM

Yes the first time i took mine up to 40 that noise scared the poop out of them. I am pretty sure it is caused by the core because my flywheels make a fainter but similar noise at high speeds.

G-pymp is right..i have them also..and they make a growling noise..when trying to carve more than it can handle

**jonns** · 05-10-2007 07:59 PM

It's been years..But all 3 sets of my 4" RoadRider/Park Rider and UFO wheels made a wild sound as I approached the top speed of a run, but it did have a pattern to it's intensity ie: as they were excelerating they became higher pitched... Anyone elts have it happend alot?
