Fantastic video and so helpful. I wouldn't have tackled replacing the wheel bearings without watching this first. Thank you so much!

[@ricardfortu8470]

I have managed to remove the squeaking noise on the front wheels! Thanks for that video :)

You are the Man!

Thanks, this saved me 60 Euros

[@andyK405]

Do you have the original numbers / dimensions of the rear wheels bearings? (The front ones are standard 608zz, but couldn’t find the rear..)

[@versteher1986]

❤ thank you ❤

[@victork3397]

Where do you obtain replacement front wheels? Not the assembly, just the wheel itself?

[@erniefasbender4939]

Thanks...saved me from buying a new pushchair!

[@TheLxsd]

Hello, trying my luck! Do you know where I could find replacement block washers to lock the wheels in? I removed mine and even trying to be careful I think I broke them both. Thanks!

I'm trying to search for a new axle and spring (for the axle) - do you know the specifications for them? I know the ball bearings are 608zz

[@boldizsarnagy1738]

Hi Julia! Did you find an axle somewhere? I also looking for them...unsuccessfully.

[@juliakleinfeld2544]

@@boldizsarnagy1738 No unfortunately I never did :-/

[@DiLazzaro]

Hi! Tyvm for all your videos. Took advantage from them already. Our cameleon 2 front wheels are still okay but they make rattling / clacking noise which is annoying for us and the kid ears. I bought it used so never had a comparison. Is there a reason for it or fix? It sounds like hard plastic clacking on hard plastic. It does not seem to be the bearings. But I will clean them anyway. Would appreciate hearing from you. Cheers

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Hi, Glad you like the videos :) My first guess would be the bearings, that the wheels are hitting the inside of the fork. But this would be visible, so it's also possible that it's the fork axles inside the front frame. If so, then a thicker lubricant like multi-purpose car grease should fix it. :)

Hi do you know why my bugaboo cameleon ride bumpy? No noise

[@vytautasrudzianskas7743]

You guys ar based in Norway, right? Where I can source the individual parts? E.g. I need only front wheels, but I can only find full wheel assembly.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Check Shapeways and Amazon for 3d printed parts, otherwise its a matter of buying used either on ebay or whatever sites you have locally :)

[@Mamamia90210]

I have the original chameleon. Am I able to replace the front wheels with bigger wheels like the fox? I like that bigger style better.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

You can use the winter wheels, but they don't swivel unfortunately.

[@thewheeliain]

Thank you. I was able to fix my bugaboo frog after finding out how to pry the little caps off!

[@hobbyaddiction]

where would you get a replacement axle?

[@victork3397]

Home Depot. Just find a bolt and nut that fits.

[@hildursamuelsdottir6395]

Do you have anythig on the simo prams ( simo kombi ) ?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We have some older videos if you search Simo on our channel. I've fixed a lot of Simos though, what's your problem?

[@hildursamuelsdottir6395]

The seat locks and the handle arm snaps are broken ( the Mechanism on the handlebar is in two peaces) i do have the parts how do i change them?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

The seat locks can be screwed off from the inside face, and opened with a screwdriver to reattach the wire. The handle regulation mechanisms are riveted, so you'll need to drill out the rivets (use a fresh drill- bit), and either re-rivet or replace with a screw and lock-nut. Hope this helps :)
