Dehubbing Wheel Theory

i live in virginia beach, i have not seen any protos dehub in under 9 months. but i have noticed that died ones do dehub quicker, i'm thinking that the heat messes with the glue. But then again i had my died black grippers running strong for 9 months without any problems at all. I'ed say just never buy first batch wheels.

I live in Arizona, and my two week old grippers are days from chunking, my 2 month old sliders chunked, i've never broken a proto wheel before like last christmas, and now they've been breaking HELLA quickly. Also, I am a pretty smooth rider, so it's not really my riding. (Except my flairs are really gross)

so wait if i bomb hills would it make the wheel stronger in theory cuz it would bond the wheel and glue together

No. Hill bombs wouldn't do that.

I've been riding my demons hard, and the only issues I've had is a small chunk from a botched powerslide. And I ride brakeless, so my shoe lands on my wheel occasionally.

Also, this means that australia should have lots of dehubbed wheels.

Yes, exactly, there tends to be!

I got demons second hand and they rode right down to the core, it didn't wear even and it felt like poop but they are tough ass wheels.

this is true i left my scoot near the radiator for like 3 days with the heating on and my wheel jus ripped to shreds and dehubed,this is due to the basis of urethane been oil and when it heats up well you get the rest

Well, now I can get eagles because I don't have to worry about them dehubbing.

in my opinion its mostly the rider, when i started to get better my style and landings didnt haha so for about a 4 month period i went threw 3 sets of wheels and then i got a pair of 841 wheels that lasted 2 and a half months. thats pretty good for wheels, now i have protos and i ride everything and everyday. and in my opinion i ride pretty hard on them and there great still. also my friend henly that can only tailwhip, barspin, 360 had 841 wheels for like 6 days. my friend robby had his exactly same protos as me for a month and there dubbing. he is not that good like bris tripples bartwists. so really if you can try and always land straight up not on an angle or slam the front wheel on a 360 or slap the back wheel on tailwhips wheels should last and in my opinion protos. are. the. best. but the wheather probably is a factor however small it probably is...

One of my friends lived in Cali and chunked a hollow core wheel in less than a month...right when he moved to Oregon he bought a new one and its 3 months super strong.

makes alot of sense actually!
it gets twice as hot down here... we get to 40c some days and the onece in a blue moon reaching even 50c.... not in a long time though....
and asphalt gets so hot that it melts down here (its a pain in the ass to clean off your wheels!) and asphalt has a HUGE melting temp so it'd get soooo hot, definately enough to melt glue, especially when you use youre brake too.
thats a flawless idea, it makes perfect sense to me:eek:

i see a lot of people TRYING to break their wheels once they've seen a sign of dehubbing -_- i've been riding one thats started to dehub for the last month and it's fine.
I fully agree with the temperature idea too. That would definitely be a factor.
