Question:

when to get new skateboard wheels?

hi guys, i just got some spitifre wheels like 2 months ago i‘d say. and i‘ve noticed that they starting to cone out a tiny bit. when would u say its time to get new wheels, and how far would they generally be coned out to when you need to replace them. in other words how badly should they be coned in order for them to need replaced. thanks guys!

Answer:

If they are coning, turn the wheels around, and swap them diagonally (for instance, front left wheel goes to bottom right, bottom left wheel goes to top right etc). This will make the coning gradually even out. The only time I replace my wheels is if they are flatspotted, becoming small, when they are all mangled up from skating on rough concrete, or just when I fancy a change.
