Cup Washers
Hey,
I just got some new cup washers, because the old Randal ones are cutting my Venoms up. I already had cups flipped on the top, but now I have the bigger cup washers which I can put on the bottom. Should I have the bottom ones flipped as well?

I had the stock Randal cup washers. They cut into my bushing. Quck question: I have bearing spacers now, and two of my wheels spin freely like as though they don't have them, and two spin but are restricted. Is this normal? Because I saw Loaded video and I think the guy in it said if you use bearing spacers this can happen, but it doesn't matter.

if it feels wrong then change it, the spacers are meant to allow almost no play in the wheels

There is no play, they are all completely cranked down. But 2/4 spin just as they used to before spacers.

The spacer is not wide enough to keep the bearings from being put under tension.
Put a speed washer in with the spacer also.
or get spacers to match the core of the wheel.
The right size spacer will allow you to tighten the wheel nut enough to pull the axle out of the hanger, and the bearing will still spin freely.

try sticking a speed ring or two in with the spacer, different spacers are slightly different sized, some work better with some wheels. you should be able to crank it down and have no restriction.
