This is a good example of what happens to grippers.

You are an idiot.
excuse me? correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure metal core wheels need to be worked in before you ride hard on them. the glue has to settle in and properly bond before you go riding hard. i have had a proto slider for a year and a half and it still has no signs of dehubbing. you have no right to call me an idiot.

How long do you think it sits on a shelf or at the shop? I think that's enough time for the glue to "settle". Its not like your getting it right after its made. I have had my sliders for a long time too, it depends of if your sketchy or not. I have every right to call you an idiot. Show me where i cant.

thats with sliders. every pair of sliders ive had lasted long over 6-9 months and still be rideable just really small and squared.grippers on the other hand last me 3-4 months and duhub.
and taz's gripper was 3 days old thats just ridiculous

Trust me wearing wheels in helps, it gives the pu time to harden thats why worn in wheels will feel harder than brand new ones and I know that helps stop chunking atleast in my experience not sure if wearing them in hardens up the glue any though. I think the last batch of grippers were just shit though, my friend dehubbed and chunked 3 pairs of grippers in 3 weeks, he broke a gripper in a day even.

Ive been riding my grippers since august and they are just starting to die. Only thing i did was rotate them once and a while.
People really need to learn how to at least argue properly, not like a bunch of dickwad 11 year olds.. You guys turn arguing about parts into personal attacks.
ALL wheels have potential to break. So all you people who like to bash on grippers wanna explain why I had 2 pairs that each lasted well ovwer a year? Someones still riding one of my second batch grippers.. The pair I have now are going on 8 months and theyre fine.
Shit happens, deal with it. Stop the arguing bullshit and stay on topic.

My Slider and Gripper are a year and a few months old. They have taken a beating and still go strong.
