i was wondering if anyone else is having this problem with their wicked 5 skates or any of the wicked line skates

baked once, used once:

i suppose the first question would be - how exactly did you bake them?

[mattzilla 0]

i do have the same thing on my 3's

but i didnt think it was much of a problem... the boots gotta bend somewhere...

Got the same thing on my L7 ice boots. Creases here and there, but it doesnt affect performance whatsoever.

My HE5550 boots did that.. along with each chassis cracking in two places... Didn't effect the performance what so ever :lol:

i just baked them in the mission oven

[chadbrochill 0]

i was told that the boot was broken and that i should contact mission

i didnt think that there was any problem but i wanted to verify that

hmmm... well.. i guess mine is broken too...

what the hell.

how long did you wait to skate on them after baking.

if you didnt wait 24 hours after baking, will mission still cover them?

i waited more than 24, because i wasnt sure how the wheels would react to the baking process and i didnt want to ruin them right away.

i actually didnt skate in them for a couple weeks after i baked them because my season had already ended

You didn't take off the wheels before you baked them?

I see no reason why you would leave the wheels on. Even if the wheels don't melt you're still going to run the risk of altering the properties of the wheel compound by exposing it to those temperatures. Seems like a risk with absolutely no rewards

I think Mission knows the heat tolerances of the wheels pretty well, otherwise they wouldn't say that you can leave the wheels on. The heat used when baking isn't enough to chemically alter a wheel. Only in the oven for a few minutes, the wheels should stay chemically stable and will not involuntarily combust, melt, or explode. Just wait at least an hour before using them so that they are at room temperature.
