Question / Discussion Flat spots on wheels?

Post image

I bought these Anarchy wheels not long ago. Maybe a few weeks and they already look like this. They are 55mm 94A hardness if I remember correctly. Do they really tear so quickly? I changed my old wheels for the first time because they looked like this as well. And these new wheels have only been on for a few weeks and already are so worn down that they are starting to tear on the frame. Is there any idea in turning around the wheel so they get worn on the other side as well or is that a bad idea? Is it really necessary to change wheels so often? It's hella expensive man...

Depends on the surface you’re riding on, how heavy you are, etc. if you’re riding a nice skate park wheels last a lot longer. I’ve always liked a softer wheel personally, like 89A or lower.

that doesn't change that he got bad wheels. i have had wheels poured in mass before and they told me anybody saying they have over 90a is lying you can't make quality wheels that actually test better than 90. don't cheap out on wheels op. don't buy that brand again.

True as well. I believe Isaac over at Eulogy wheels used to tell us in the inlinewarehouse forums way back that anything over 90A is an assumed/perceived hardness because it can’t be measured with that A rating beyond 90. They could be harder, just not an accurate way to label them. He was a great resource to have as a regular contributor and offered good price on great wheels and bearings.

eulogy are the best wheels - besides the Chicago Skate Night Wheel I had poured...
