ABSTRACT:
An improved wheel assembly which eliminates "bearing click" is provided with raised, deformable structures placed within a gap between a bearing and fixed structures inside the wheel core. When the bearing is pushed into the wheel to abut at least one such fixed structure, leaving a gap between the bearing and another fixed structure, then tightened mechanically inward into the wheel core, the deformable structure in the gap will be deformed by the bearing as it pushes inward and "cold flow" to form a surface preventing wobbling and "bearing click" when the user presses manually against the wheel hub.
