    Default Chunked Flashies

    Ok, so I got these about 2 1/2 months ago, and I noticed some large chunks on some of the wheels about a week ago. I did learn my sliding on these, but the chunks didn't start until about a week after my last slide. I know that soft wheels (78a) will chunk after too much sliding, but is this normal?
    I'm a man...I can change...if I have to...I guess.

    My best guese is that is was the cracks. The sidewalks around here have some pretty big cracks. I try to avoid them, and there is hardly any glass.

    Sliding over a sharp rock, my beat set of flys has done the same thing.
