| Lol, my g6b's had over a year of solid use on all surfaces! It still works perfectly though! it only splits when it's tightened  Plus they were 2nd hand to start with I have 2 sets though, they're still my favourite wheels! Maybe a few of them split, that might be why they were discontinued! |

| So you guys basically just glue the wheels back together?
Do you feel like a little tick every time it rolls over that part or anything? |

this. daaaaaaamn. in all my years fingerboarding.. I rode closeup core wheels for 8 months and this never happened : o This. I've had shitloads of Close Up wheels, from the G1s/G2s to the G3/4/5s and had no problems skating them indoors or outdoors. The most damage I've done to fingerboard wheels were the old X-Concepts transparent wheels. I think they came with THPS series boards. There's a good reason they stopped making them. They looked good but I've managed to wear down so many sets until there is barely a wheel left until one more trick literally cracks the wheel right off the truck. |
