What is Considered Normal Wear and Tear on Street Wheels?Updated a month ago
Street wheels naturally wear down over time, but the rate and type of wear depend on several factors, including durometer (hardness), riding style, and surface conditions.
What to Expect
- General Wear: Powered skateboards place more strain on wheels than traditional skateboards, leading to faster wear.
- Chipping: Softer or larger wheels are more prone to chipping due to their construction, especially when riding on rough or uneven terrain.
- Surface Impact: Hot, rough, or sharp surfaces can cause excessive wear, including cuts and abrasions.
How to Extend Wheel Life
- Ride on smooth surfaces whenever possible.
- Avoid dragging wheels sideways when stopping.
- Rotate wheels periodically to distribute wear evenly.
If you notice severe or unusual wear, check your wheel alignment and riding style to prevent premature damage. 🚀
