Great but big chip in wheel after 3 rides
Really like the feel of these wheels but when they get a big chip out of them on my 3rd ride bit disappointing.

Hi Marlo,
Thanks for taking the time to review the product.
These wheels are designed for smooth surfaces only. There are multiple factors that play into wheel damage. The most common are debris, substrate ridden on and riding style. Wheels that are softer or larger are more prone to damage due to their construction and how they react to those factors.
A way to reduce the potential for damage is to wear the wheels in on a smooth concrete surface, this is a common practice in the longboarding community where people intended to slide on their wheels.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your local Evolve team.

Chunk easily!!
Rode them for the first time to the train, relatively rough footpath and chunks right away! Too soft for anything other than than tarmac!

Hi Kurt,
Thanks for your review.
These wheels are designed for smooth surfaces only.
There are multiple factors that play into wheel damage. The most common are debris, substrate ridden on and riding style. Wheels that are softer or larger are more prone to damage due to their construction and how they react to those factors.
In addition to this, with the boards being powered, the wheels are subject to forces they wouldn’t normally encounter and will push through debris that would often stop a regular skateboard. This can damage the wheel as a result.
A way to reduce the potential for damage is to wear the wheels in on a smooth concrete surface, this is a common practice in the longboarding community where people intended to slide on their wheels. You could also try a harder compound wheel which is designed for slides or more aggressive riding. Check out the 85mm Purple Caguamas in this case. Otherwise, we also have the all terrain tyres which are great for riding ion rougher surfaces.
Hope this helps!
