Urethane Color?

[NickOlson]

I was wondering if the color of the urethane mattered in terms of not dehubbing or chunking. I just had the idea that maybe it would, as I was thinking about skate shoes (the gum colored sole lasts longest over black/other colors)
White urethane is probably the most popular, and clearly they hold up well. But how are the other colors?

buy black on silver eagles

white urethane is about 37% less likely to dehub or chunk, but is 24% heavier.
jk, i dont think color really affects the wheels performance

yes Michael has had his eagles for almost a year and now chunk or dehubbage.expect they were the black on gold,he rawed the core

the only difference in pu is when the transparency is changed i.e clear pu is very bad but solid colours seem to hold up ok. i had to figure this out for mgp so i learnt a bit on how wheels work

This seems to be the case for a lot of grips, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of difference for wheels too

bump anyone know?

all non-transparent PU holds up the same as any other color. Its just dye they add.
No sure about the difference between transparent and non-transparent urethane.

if you use RIT dye, to dye them after you buy them, ive heard it makes them a little weaker. probably not a huge deal

 

[Billie Rainbow]

it would weaken it because of heat but read my post properly
