Wearing in wheels?

[-Sal-]

I am really curious as if anyone wears in wheels anymore?
I normally do it all the time, but i feel like if i am riding a wheel on the front for a week or a month it just waists the time of the warranty that they give me. So if they do wind up dehubbing or what not i just waisted a warranty and my wheels.

Any feed back from you guys? Do you guys wear in wheels or just throw them on the back right away?

Pros, cons?

I always wear them in. But if i buy a pair, I will put them both on and just ride lightly and do a lot of manuals.

this. bomb alot of hills.

i dont see how bombing hills makes the urethane more durable, or the glue stronger.
plus, i seem to break front wheels faster than back wheels. idk why though

I put on the new front wheel do some hang fives for about an hour or so, then put that in the back. And then the other wheel in the front

yeah i dig it.. i might do the same. back in the day when i used to ride green machines i always had to wear them in.

im getting a new pair of epic quakes and i guess ill just ride one on the front for a few days.. then switch it to the back.

Do you guys think it makes that much of a difference?

no.
if they sit in the shop for weeks the glue has obviously dried.

 

[issac p]

no.

no.

alright i mean it just made sense that it bonds to the core better after you ride it and what not.

but i guess ill just throw them on the front and back and see whats good
