Hey Oaks,

It seems that your cones need to be tightened up a bit.

You will need two super thin flat wrenches to get the job done.

Checkout a few of these links for a better idea of what I mean.

Best of luck.

Mike

thanks for the help mike, although i figured it out before you gave me the advice....

the actuall problem was that i over tightened the nuts on the actual wheels(the really small ones) losining solved this.

Yah, You always need to be careful with your nuts...

I'm glad you were able to figure it out.
