Hi
I was wondering if you all could help me figure out whether or not I’m imagining something. I was worried I had a bent rear axle, as the inner circumference of the rear wheels seemed to be wearing faster than the inner circumference of the front wheels. I even tried sliding some coins under the axles, with the hangers on a work bench, to see if the axels ran parallel with the coin on the top of the stack. But I’ve noticed a separate set of wheels on a separate set of trucks also seem to have worn in this way.
Do rear wheels wear differently to front wheels?
Thanks
