Rotate your wheels often and if all else fails... find a lathe.

go faster and run good bearings (prevention beats a cure)

Might be a stupid question...but can you un-cone/ovalise/flatspot wheels? Mine are getting pretty bumpy...

Lathe the flatspot out of the wheel.
Jonty if you or your friends know anyone with a lathe let us know. when Mark left we lost that facility and have been riding flatspotted wheels ever since.

bearings do NOT mean anything... they just let the wheel spin... that is all

So is a lathe one of those bands of sand paper attached to a motor? Coz we might have one at school, or else we have a discsander.
