Uh oh... alignment? check your chain adjusters first, simple things.

That would happen much more suddenly. It was that that a couple people had spun bearings. Ouch.

That was the problem with mine when I got it. Ended up bending my back sprocket, which fucked up the chain, which fucked up the front too. Had to all be replaced.

The right wheel bearing was toast. Not too much for a new one + installation (press-fit).

Original. I lended a guy a spacer at the track and I think I put the left side's spacer on the right side (I had extra ones from my ebay specials). They appear to be different. I tightened the axle down and it pressed the spacer through the inner bearing ring jones and cracked it. It was proly a combo of me using the wrong spacer and over-tightening my axle nut, I don't know. I'm gonna look up the torque requirements on that bitch. Lesson learned.

I saw one at Autozone for 30 bucks. Proly not the best but it's 30 fucking bucks and it'll get me close to the correct setting.
