bigzigs chipping

[mikjoll]

lime 75mm (80a) wheels, apex 37, bones swiss
ive had them for about a season and the edges are already chipped and chunked out. im guessing this isnt normal so what's going on here. what are the possible reasons why this is happening and what are some possible wheel recommendations for all around riding?

Your guessing wrong then. I've got tons of chips in mine. If you want longevity get some Gumballs or 83mm Flys.

oh...so this is normal then? for the edges to get chipped? correct?

the edges will get a little rough from sliding/normal wear. The wheel is fine. Dont worry about it. Go skate.

Totally normal. If it bothers you that much, just go ahead and radius them - no more lips, no more chips, still very grippy.

Lime Bigz are an ultra high traction slalom wheel. The sharp square edges are particularly prone to damage. When you thrash them they show it. I really wouldn't worry about it too much if the edges have divots. They have such big contact patches that they still work fine.

If you want super long lasting wheels get something with round thick lips and that is center set so you can rotate and flip them for even wear.

if you can you should post a picture. ive never seen straight edge wheels chip that much before.
