hey guys I know this isn't a question about fourwheelers but I need your help...I got a BMX (pedal bike) its a norco and I've been riding in alot of pits and well now everytime I stop pedaling my back rim makes a crunking noise is it possible that I have sand in my bearings? or somthing like that if anyone know anything about pedal bikes and could help me please tell me what you think is wrong

Thanks

 

yeah....it could be sand or really small pebals same happened to me you need to take the chain and tire off and get it out

 

I allready did that i took everything off but I think its inside my bearings and I don't know how to take that apart maybe i should just go buy a new rim or?

 

spin the bearing with your finger...does it spin free or is there resistance

 

mabe just but new bearings.

 

Try this. Get a socket to fit round the edge of the bearing and another to fit on the rim just outside of where the bearing is. Try tap the bearing out with the small socket into the big socket. If possible put it in a vice.

 

theres some resistance I think I'll just wait for my dad to come home from his fishing trip before i take it apart and get him take a look at it cuz I don't want to f*ck it up

 

oh ya do you think if I drive on it like this do you think it will mess up alot more or?

 

k well i took the bairings apart and there was pretty big pebals in there and alot of sand and all the bearings are scared and **** so i guess i'm just buy a new rim does anyone know where i can get one in canada?
