Cool Re: Plaction wheels coming apart

Ive have had the outer rim of the wheel crack and throw off the tread. No loctite was used on the wheel. It didn't disintegrate though. It was still usable.

Re: Plaction wheels coming apart

The mystery is solved. We didn't use self locking nuts because the ones we had were too tall to fit. We had a student put the wheels together and he use too much blue loctite (blue seems to be worse on polycarb than red) anyway, every wheel had cracks radiating from the nut locations.

Note to all: NEVER USE LOCTITE NEAR POLYCARB!!!!

PLACTION WHEELS ARE POLYCARB!

Re: Plaction wheels coming apart

Our team used them last year on our drive train and this year on our shooter (with trad covered in gorilla tape to reduce tear on ball) and we never had problems with them we push bearings in by hand and use nylock nuts no locktight
