Each pre-assembled V-Wheel consists of four components:

Make sure everything is straight

It can be easy to accidentally press in a bearing crooked. Try your best to avoid this as you could damage a wheel this way.

The sound of success

If all goes well, you should here a satisfying ‘pop’ each time a bearing fits into the wheel.

Check for internal cracks

Check to make sure the wheel is not cracked internally after pressing in the bearings. If it is, the wheel will likely fail after several months of use and should be replaced.

Shimmy the shim

If the second bearing doesn’t seem to fit all the way into the wheel, its probably because the shim is misaligned. Use a small screwdriver to push the shim into the center of the wheel, and then push the bearing in the rest of the way.
