WildRumpus Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hey All, I'm sure this topic has come up before but I can't seem to find much in the forums. I work at a High School and therefore have a limited budget I'd like to (hopefully) spend on wheel repairs. We have 4 Shimpo RK-Whispers and one of them is on the fritz. When you start it spinning the wheel head stutters and spasms for a second before it jerkily spins. While it's spinning it emits a very high pitch squeal. I assumed it just needed to be lubricated but the stuttering is what worries me that it's something different. The wheels are about 7 years old and past the warranty I believe. Any advice would be great. Thanks! -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'd call a Shimpo rep. Sometimes they will come out and do repairs for you. sometimes for free.Probably depends on where you are located. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yes, call Shimpo. Wheel issues can be difficult to diagnose since the problem could be the pedal, the controller or the motor. Shimpo will probably recognize the problem right away and have a solution.
