Show me... abused wheels!

[pavedwave]

Well, those wheels all have flatspots. That doesn't count!

These guys are really down to the core:

bump for best pic.

naturally worn down vs. flatspot is almost like natural vs. silicone

You've never heard of 70mm flys? Wow.

you never noticed the graphic is half missing?? Wow.

Well, if you insist...

why would you do that to brand new wheels iven if they are strikers

[stringtheory]

To make big fat good quality urathane bushings.

my guess, two reasons:

1. they're worth more as bushings than as Strikers
2. chaput still hasn't released abec11 bushings!

[stringtheory]

Pavedwave's right. Conservatively, they are worth around $80.ish as bushings ($5. per pair).

I forgot to post a pic in my last post. here's a destroyed 76mm Superball. It did not survive day one of the break in period. Oh well.

Lesson learned, don't slide EW 56s. And they are two different wheels.
