| I have an idea to prevent air bubbles in heelys wheels. It doesn't have anything to do with modifying your wheels.....it's just a new idea for a wheel HSL could make. In freeline skate wheels, there's a strong white frame connecting the core and the material. In heelys mega wheels, there's only material connected directly to the core, and when it peels away, you get air bubbles. If heelys could incorporate the same material, but less of it, into mega wheels and place a hard frame in between the material and the core, it could prevent air bubbles. This would be similar to how the new fats wheels use less material in their wheels to fit bigger 608 bearings instead of 688 micro bearings. |

| i agree, but I believe the issue could relate to balancing cost perhaps. I just bought new wheels and bearings for my Salomon ST80's not too long ago and dropped over 80 bones for the cheap stuff. I know you only have 2 wheels and 4 bearings, but could the cost out-weigh the efficientcy. Also, looking at it this way, a large majority of people who heely don't stay on skate park material surface, meaning that they wear the soles of the shoes out fairly rapid (I know I do)... Just a though, but I totally agree |

Why would they do that?
There probably making more money off of mega wheels than the shoe itself at this point xDD |

Well yeah.......but that's just wrong. They make a product that sucks b/c it's the only thing people can ride on? 
I can't wait til the megavert wheels come out.... |
