Show me... abused wheels!

NormaJean · 07-09-2007, 10:18 AM

Hi, I tried searching in a few forums for coned wheels but didnt find any wheels used "to the core".

Show me some wheels used to the point where there nothing to do with them

Chunked to death is good to

This doesn't include:

The set of G-Bones I flatspotted after a centimeter of wear.
The set of 81A Flys I cored.
The set of G-Bones I wore down a centimeter.
The set of Invertz I flatpotted into oblivion.
Or the many, many sets of wheels I've burned in races.

Edit:

The Kryptos were all 85mm at one point and the 76mm Flys were ridden for 2 days till I reached the core point and they weren't fun anymore.

Ok, I know it's not a flatspotted wheel, but it's definately abused

(probably more like 5.6 miles for him since he couldn't finish, and KAAAPOW!!)

Not sure how he managed to do it, but the road we were riding are 8 miles long and fast as hell. So dirty bearings + old and tired wheels might have been the reason. Luckily he didn't hurt himself

can't find it but theres a pic of some avalons or avilas worn into a straight up cone and to the core.
posted in the slalom forum? or some wheel thread?

SteveC · 07-09-2007, 05:38 PM

seized bearing... really my own stupid fault.. thankfully I wasn't even going that fast.

mksuen · 07-09-2007, 06:38 PM

He would probably make a good deal of money off of that.
All of his kiddie fanclub members would clamor for them.
