Premium Member Comment by Phil Bartlett on January 27, 2011 at 18:26: do these wheels have a core?

Premium Member Comment by James on January 27, 2011 at 18:34: Nope, no core. I had em on my tech sliding board. It got flat, then I kept sliding them down a steep hill to try and fix it, but it just got worse and worse, sounded like a motor bike hahaha

Comment by Joe Campbell on January 27, 2011 at 18:45: i have a friend with 80a zombies that look like that on nearly every wheel.. haha

Comment by leighgriffiths on January 27, 2011 at 18:47: it all comes down to how your sliding dude. your gonna get those bad flatspots if you continually lock the board straight when getting sideways. it means the wheels will stop turning and they'll wear in that one spot. try and keep those wheels spinning.

its too late now however. only a lathe will fix them.

Premium Member Comment by Phil Bartlett on January 27, 2011 at 18:55: no promises on how these ones would turn out though.

Ill try these out on the house for you if you want james, just include enough for return postage.

no promises though Ive never done a coreless wheel before.

Premium Member Comment by James on January 27, 2011 at 18:58: Agreed, ive managed to fix flatspots on those wheels once by doing big pendys, but this time the flat spot was too big and it kept locking on that spot as soon as the slide broke out and wouldnt move off that spot untill the board was pointing straight down the hill. They wouldnt even be worth fixing now. But no big deal. I had my fun and now they have been replaced by some 100a stingers that slide even better. Quadruple pendys no worries hahaha

I've been meaning to send a bunch of wheels up to you, but I have been lazy. Can you pm me your bank details, so I can deposit the cash? I kinda like this flatspot, so I will probably just keep it, but I can send you the other not so trashed ones to try out if you want, I don't need them back, but if you want to experiment with a coreless one then go for it.

It's all bad in terms of gear lifetime, but that's so bad it's good.
