It happened again! This wheel is less than 48 hours old. And the Rubber part is already falling off the inner grey part. This is what happend with the first pair. of wheels.
It seems like for some reason the Rubber part is sliding around the gray part and getting melted. When I pulled the rubber part off, all this melted rubber fell out.
So when the inner part of the rubber melts down, it gaps out like this and bumps and squeaks and eventually wont even roll.
I am so frustrated
I am wondering if the ABEC 1 are not fast enough, becuase this didn't start happening until I started running and Heeling..
Does anyone have any ideas????
Seth? |

This is going to fall on some QA guy's head like a ton of bricks, I'm sure.
Let's hope the new wheels don't have this problem...
The only thing I can really recommend is seriously greasing up your bearings to minimize friction. |

woah your bump is bigger then mine that happened as soon as i got mine so i traded them in and i havent had problems since but on mine the wheel completely slid off the grey part i tried rolling on it but it felt weird. i just got them exchanged (i was in the store at the time) i think you might want to get either abec 5 or 7 wheels or just go get new torches with mega wheels and grinplate |

Yeah, I've had my ABEC 7s since March. They're perfectly fine right. |

I've kept receipts since I was about ten. But I'm just weird like that. I usually save all my money, and don't usually spend it. That way I'll have a lot for when I really want something. |
