| So I bought white v6's recently, and one of the bearings had exploded during post I guess. I was told I'd have to wait about a week-ish for the bearings to restock. But I was filing down my truck hangar like 5 minutes ago, and when I was about to put the wheel back on, another one popped. I seriously have the worst luck ever. |

| .___. This is why I don't ride dual bearing wheels, haha.. One of my g7.1 bearings exploded randomly, was weird. Mike fixed it for free, but, yea, sucks. Hope todd will understand and send you another bearing.. |

| dam......that is bad luck.....thats how Todd keeps the price down on his wheels.....the bearings are not the best.....mainly due to them not being shielded.....but, if they dont explode early on, they can last a life time.....my sets of NCD wheels are still going fine... i wonder what Todd will say to you asking for another bearing? |

| Well I asked for one already, but I'm not sure if he had sent it already. So I sent him another email hoping he hadn't sent it yet. |

| you may just want to explain to him maybe you just got a bad set of wheels. he may surprise you though, i ordered a set of g4 buttas a year ago and the bearings busted in one on the front and one on the back. I sent him an email with pics of the wheels telling him about the situation he told me he would take care of it. I explained to him if he wanted to save on the shipping he could throw the 2 replacements with the deck I ordered. When i got my package i had a full new set. |

| Great, another exploded too, but thankfully it was on a wheel that already had a broken bearing. |
