Wearing in wheels?

[TomGeorge]

Done to help the glue set, but what do you think? How should you do it, how long for and is it even worth it?

 

[Robert]

its not really necessary

 

[AshleyPowell]

i done it. it works. +i have dyed wheels

 

[TomGeorge]

So should I do it with my new set up or not? I'll probably spend a bit of time just doing simple tricks to get used to it anyway, or should I spend time doing no tricks at all?

I've worn in my wheels by just riding clean and not doing anything big/hard for like 2 days and I've never de hubbed a wheel

 

[btyczki21]

it's only a myth, i didnt break in my wheels and ive been riding them since the new year

 

[TomGeorge]

Alright, thanks!

 

[Isiahloya]

didnt break in my wheels and they dehubbed in 3 weeks

All wheels suck. Whether you wear them in or not.

All wheels suck. Whether you wear them in or not.

thats because you go hard

All wheels suck. Whether you wear them in or not.

thats because every part that touches your setup falls apart in like a month. i want to see what happens to it after like a month of chill funbox riding

edit: i guess i should add to the thread, well it doesnt hurt, go bomb hills and land clean easy stuff and make sure you catch it all, basically no flyout and no grinds for the first couple of days, this matters even more if you go really hard on all of your stuff

i just put my new wheels on, and just chill ride and not do anything to break the wheels for like 3 days, then swap them around.

 

[TomGeorge]

Why swap them around?

 

[RiccardoM]

Even wear on front and back.

 

[Dewey]

its clearly not a myth, ive seen people dehub wheels in days cuz they didnt break them in

 

[TomGeorge]

Ok, so I should ride around (I'll probs just film some others) for a couple of days and then swap them around?

 

[RiccardoM]

Pretty much, don't do all those super cool, super sexy slides like in your vids. Go fast and stuff like that just don't do tricks that'll put uneven pressure on your wheels.
