So Im using a pair of Chicago roller skates, It was something for my big feet that I could learn on and I love them - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chicago-Mens-Rink-Skate-Black/dp/B000G17FXS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1541706154&sr=8-5&keywords=chicago%2Broller%2Bskates&th=1&psc=1 - When I've been skating on them they start making a really awful noise, as if they are grinding and clicking together. Its a really awful thing to constantly hear and when I take the bearing out and spin it in my hand I can feel that something is off with it, it doesn't spin smoothly in my hand and feel like something is clicking around. It also has more drag on it and I really don't enjoy replacing bearings every skate session because of this. I'm still using the basic wheels that came with the skates, they're very hard wheels but they haven't really caused me any issues and I enjoy skating on them. And I don't tighten the wheel much, as long as it doesn't move side to side that's about as tight as I go, so that it spins and doesn't move other than that

A colleague from work who deals with building bikes and fixing broken bikes/scooters and outdoor equipment says that the axle could be bent. I cant see any bend of deformity in them but the only things I can think to change are the wheels or the trucks. But at this point I'm probably better off just getting new skates...
