In this vido we demonstrate how to disassemble and replace parts in order to fix loose front wheel issues on a Thule Urban Glide. We deal both with the wheel as loose within the fork (horizontal axle) and with looseness in the fork itself (vertical axle, the connection of the fork with the swivel mechanism).

Hey! I added a piece of the plastic which I cut out of a plastic bottle inside of the plastic ring and that stabilized the wobble. Some grease is requieres though in order to keep the axle spinning. Thanks for the video!!

@strollerspaglobal6567 3 года назад

Great video! That part really shouldn't be plastic. Id also suggest informing your viewers that they can avoid this issue by locking their front wheel before running - not as easy to maneuver thought!

@LT-ew9uw Год назад

Any idea what the plastic part on the bottom is called/listed as?

@ant1fact 9 месяцев назад

Great video! We have the Urban Glide 2 which has the same problem with the plastic part. Finally a good reason to pick up 3D printing :D

Hey there, do you happen to have a part number for that front ring?? Great video!! and thanks!

I called Thule and they said they couldn’t offer it.

Hey.. Is there an order number for the plastic bearings on the front axle? I can't find anything online or on thule. Thank you

Hi, I have an opposite problem. The front wheel does not swivel freely in unlocked position. It takes considerable energy to turn the stroller. Actually, when stroller is empty, the front wheel would almost not turn at all. I'm wondering if the ring would loosen in the course of time and the front wheel will actually become more "turnable", or if any action should be taken to fix this. Is this caused by the plastic ring that you mention in 4th miniute? What is your opinion?

Hi. I have Urban Glide 2 and started using it last week. Out if the box stroller is pulling to the left (front wheel unlocked, not in running mode). I have checked tyre pressure and break tension. Also i have lossen break lines all the way, to be 100% that breaks are not the problem. Stroller is still pulling to the left when you let go of it on flat ground. Do you have any experiance whit this kind of problems? At the shop they will need to take the stroller in to go over warranty, but I need stroller every day and not be week or two without. Thank you for your help. Kind regards

@rebeccaholland1599 Месяц назад

Exact same thing has happened with mine. Just got it and same thing - pulling to the right. Did you get any answers about this?

@hitokuineko1968 5 лет назад

Hii I have Urban Glide 2 and the rear wheels started wobbling when I ran. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks

@BarnevognverkstedNo 5 лет назад

Most likely damaged ball bearings, bent axle, or worn down shaft in the rear wheel housing :)

@melonissa1 10 месяцев назад

Mine does the same, I've only used it three times

@bobbiago 4 года назад

Nice video, except you didn’t fix the loose piece of plastic. Is that because Thule’s website doesn’t list this part? I couldn’t find it there - does anyone know where to find it? My understanding is that 3D printing it would require a data file.

@bobbiago 4 года назад

At the end I fixed mine with a shim I made from an aluminium can. So far so good!

@RyanMGranger 2 года назад

@@bobbiago clever! I was trying to decide what to use as a shim and was coming up blank. Good idea!

@rudi51 7 месяцев назад

Thule seem to have a lifetime warranty so will replace the part if it is worn it seems

Part number or size on the replacement bearing? Thule wants me to buy the whole wheel unit.

@mikevanne5833 4 года назад

I just disassembled mine - The bearing is a 6000-2RS. It needs 2 of them.

I had to get that O ring 3D printed to correct the problem. Thule don't sell that part . I have some extras I'm selling if anyone is interested.

@BarnevognverkstedNo Год назад

Right on! Much support for your DIY MacGuyver efforts! If it's worth it for you, I recommend listing the 3d print file on Shapeways. :)
