i just ordered 110mm metal cores and i have heard alot of talk that you have to wear them in the front before riding them in the back and have seen alot of pictures of broke metalc cores i was wondering what wearing them in in the front actually does and whether it will make them last longer if you do?
 
yeah it helps to ride it in the front first just cruise around make some turns because when its fresh and comes to a point its got more leverage to dehub

Haha, the treadmill is so fun. Great practice for manuals if you don't have a slight hill.

well why would you put it in the front? why not put it in the back and go down a hill with your brake on, just sounds like a much better idea to me.
 
Hmm, I did nothing to my wheels. I just went and rode them normally and ive had them since June. I guess i got a good pair lol.
