they're not cured yet noob. you shouldnt even be riding them yet.

how long would it take for them to be "cured" or whatever?
and wtf does cured mean anyway?
 
haha. if they were sooo good like everyone is saying they are then why do they dehub when u ride them in the back without wearing them in? i used to have a 110mm micro metal core and i never wore it in and it was fine. i think the sr metal cores are not as good as everyones been saying because if they were good, they wouldn't dehub that fast.
 
i don't know about these anymore..people are making me think different

even though i already ordered

i guess i will wait to ride these? january?

they said so in many different threads. you can run them, just only in the front for a couple weeks while they wear in.

uhm yeah people you should usually wear in ANY metalcore wheel before you put it in your back. ride it in the front for 2 weeks to a month so the urethane loosens up a little (no i dont mean loosen up as in coming off the core). i mean, so it softens up kinda. IDK IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN. but anyway, yeah run it in the front for a good 3 weeks at least before riding it in your back.

and they arent finished curing yet. as stated before

I own SR.
They won't be full cured until the middle of January and even after that it is smart to wear them in on the front first then rotate them to the back just like any other wheel which was stated in the PROTO thread.

IF you do decide to ride them in the back right when you get them just take it easy on them for awhile.
