Bandwagon, 'cause I'm a tool.

Ive got a couple single session destroyed wheels that I'll post later today. That means fresh at the begining of the sesh.

drifters...

**JY Jelly** · 09-14-2009 08:59 PM

Blue drifters, they wore completely round, no flatspots/ovalization or swirl.

So after wondering why I was feeling so much vibrating I checked out my wheels and was dissapointed to see some flattening. It seems to be present on 3 wheels. They are just slightly coned at this point. Is it possible to ride the flat spots out?

I have some hawgs that ovalized around 73mm and it was scary to take them up to speed because of the vibrations, they are now around 65mm and aren't as bad to ride at speed so they've gotten better

I've heard if you do some huge pendys, it can re-roundify your wheels. I've never ti=ried it/seen it done though.

**thatoneblahguy** · 09-15-2009 12:06 AM

how huge are we talking here?

**deathfrog** · 09-15-2009 12:09 AM

I have some 78a zigs that ovaled. They got worse and worse, I started throwing big slides to try to round them back out and it definitely didn't help, probably just made it worse. They're under 60mm now (were 70) and although the do grip way more than new, and slide super smooth, they're pretty much un rideable from the ovaling. And the lips are tearing off.
