wheels on hi-lo's

[jukeboxhero 0]

hey everyone,

i have nexed stingers, and have noticed that my first wheel on both skates is significantly smaller than the 2nd wheel (both started as 72mm), i rotated the wheels so that the 2nd and 1st wheel are now switched, but was wondering if anyone else had the problem where the first wheel in the high low wears signifcantly more than the 2nd wheel.

These are also my first hi-lo skates (they are the 2 degree stingers though). before these hi-los i skated on the easton big-wheel frames.

Just wondering if this is normal, or maybe the way i have been skateing.

thanks.

I would just think maybe its wearing down faster because of pushing off with it...but I could be wrong

I would have to agree with icedog on that. I dont use Hi-Lo's but thats what happens to my wheels on my rocker chassis sometimes.

it's because you didn't rotate your wheels enough

it happens b/c you push off your toes and thus grind more off your front wheel

i had the stingers for about ayear the front wheel and the back wheel take a beating,i thought they were good skates once they broke in.
