55mm Outer lip, 50mm Inner Lip.

Once the inside lip stops coning and the outside lip is no longer a round lip it's time to pass on to another set.

Jesse - how? 100% core in 6 hours on flywheels? Those Krypto's - Two hours?? What do you do man? You must thread the gnar so bodaciously hard. Skating for you must be like $14 an hour going through wheels that fast!

And why did Krypto stop making the Classic K a while back?

either he's really really fat, lying, or he just shreds the gnar on hardcore pavement

im really light, but the surface was gnar, tore the #### outta my leg when i bailed.

**MadMike** · 06-04-2009 01:46 PM

Coring Flywheels in one day is totally possible. Example:

250lb rider + 1 day freeriding =

They were brand new at the beginning of the day. I tried to core these but they wore down so low that I couldn't keep riding them on my Hellcat without grinding the rails (or dragging my heels and toes).

**Longbord1** · 06-04-2009 02:00 PM

thanks goodness i weigh nothing. Stoked for having my wheels last.

**TheKraken** · 06-04-2009 02:43 PM

I agree. I just wouldn't be able to afford wheels after every sesh.

I do love that feeling you get when you look at your wheels and can see the difference before and after.

**SpeedFiend** · 06-04-2009 03:20 PM

wheels like that dont work very well. if i could run whatever, i would run a brand new set of wheels every run.

coning is for kids

kids = coneheads

**neuros** · 06-04-2009 03:24 PM

if I could run whatever, I'd run a fresh pair of wheels for every race
if not, I'm working on killing a pair of wheels.

not coning wheels is for those who can't slide and don't drift

For giggles i put some 63mm 82a amber tunnel rocks on my homemade freeride board. Turns out they are the best freeride wheels i have ever tried! So smooooth! However since they are sideset, they wear and cone almost instantley after you slide them once. I have been doing standups and colemans for the past hour and they were already coned on the inner lip to about 56 mm. They were laying down awsome yellow marks as soon as they started to really wear. I will post some pics after they get a little more weared down. I plan to ride them to the core!
