Check Bearings and Re-Torque Axles
Sometimes the axles on these bikes come very over-torqued and crush the wheel bearings. If it's very difficult to remove the axles or if your wheel bearings squeak, you should check that you can move the wheel bearings with your fingers. You may be able to loosen the bearings by pulling them out slightly, but if not you'll need to replace them. Re-torque the axles according to the fastener torque values.
