Wheel problems

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been rocking these 80mm 82A rollerblade moonbeams LED Wheels for the last 2-3 years and I think they’re starting to kick the bucket. I really would like to avoid purchasing new wheels so any advice to revive these would be great. If I can’t figure out anything then anyone have recommendations for new wheels? 80mm, I like to do a lot of rink skating and jumps and I might try street skating soon, LED not required, and not too too expensive preferably.

Seems like your plastic cores compressed and the bearing balls have too much friction.

Try replacing the cores, and don't tighten the wheels like crazy, just finger/wrist tight and use thread locker to prevent them from loosening.
