Wearing in wheels?

[Erik]

just got grippers. everyone says you need to wear them in correctly. SZ says to switch them front to back after 3 months. so do i really have to worry for 3 months about my wheels dehubbing if i land sketchy? any other ways of wearing in quickly?

bomb a couple hills and try to not to land sketchy. ahah

 

[Erik]

how long should i do that for? i went to the local today and the grippers are the smoothest wheels ive ever ridden so im dying to do shit but if i land sketchy..... you know proto doesnt do shit when it comes to warranties IF they break

imo, wearing in wheels does absolutely nothing.
and i think you mean 3 weeks, not 3 months.

 

[Erik]

the zone says 3 months...

 

[issac p]

lol both my grippers hardly lasted 3 months. they started dehubbing within weeks

Rather be safe then sorry. I usually bomb a few hills and cruise to places for a week before trying new tricks.

just ride them in the front for like a week before putting them in the back.

yea just ride non heavy/sketchy for a week or so as to wear them in, so do tricks you are comfortable with (very comfortable, i mean comfortable you know) comfortable, you get it?
