At the time, I didn't know that the problem had been there from the beginning rather than being damaged.

I really don't have a problem with bass wheels as long as the shaft is (exactly) the same size as the endpin rod. I've been using one myself for years and only wish that I had started using one earlier in my life. It might have prevented some the lower back problems I have today.
