hi everyone
did some of you had this problem before?
one of my center wheel melted from the inside...
it was almost new, used for less than 10 hours...
is this a common problem?

ive never heard about the core melting, but i know that these wheels sometimes melt... theres a lot of facts that lead to that... because its melted from the inside, the bearing could have been a big reason... cheap bearings can produce quite a lot of heat... other than that it can be caused by long fast rides and rough pavement... t ome its not a big surprise since its pretty warm at the moment...
ive heard that the new freebord centers are almost impossible to melt...

@shred das is doch eines von den neuen centers...

also entweder isses das was de johan am pfingsttreffen vom brian bekommen hat oder das was er wenige wochen vorher bekommen hat mit dem neuen satz slashers

find ich schon schon schwach das die "guten" centers plötzlich die gleichen probleme bekommen wie die von den stockwheels

muss man mal beobachten, nich das die da wieder neuen billigen mist produzieren?

the black joyrides aren´t the new ones. the new ones look way different. just the colour is matching... the joyrides arent the best wheels for freebording, its been a fact for a long time already. i use agressiv hockey wheels. and ive been blasting down 10 min runs on ruff and headed streets. the new ones from freebord suposed to be bad ass too as far as i read about!

hi,
i now this problem, it was the same with my centerwheels. The problem are the bearings, if the arent clean enough or if you forgot to oil it. The heat is so high in this case that the wheels have to melt.
At the moment i drive with hockey wheels with crazy creek abec7 bearings, and they are very good, they have the also 84a with 72mm diameter. It is really like snowboarding on pouder.
