do minibikes normallly need spacers on the front and back wheel?

9 times out of 10 they do. Unless your forks have spacer tubes welded on them, you need spacers so the bearings aren't being bound up.:hammer:

No this is fine, since its not really a project.Reserve that space for complete mini bike restos.:hammer:

It's also good to use a spacer between the bearings.

The axle spacer is inside the wheel hub (green) and keeps the precision bearings in place. Without the spacer, the bearing can fail from load and/or if you over tighten the axle nuts.
