  • yeh i know they dont actually explode, but i mean, you cant exactly just take a spoke key and re-true them can you.

    i meant, can they buckle, if so how can you fix them? or do they just crack or something

    They don't buckle, and it is rare to see an Arrospok break (there is that one image of a snapped Aspok floating around the internet, but it had a truck reverse over it) in this respect they are very strong, good for doing tricks where you land heavily on your front wheel.

    They kinda' start life buckled, they don't run true from day one (this is true of other cheaply made carbon wheels too) - in fact the manufacturer warns you that you need to open up your front break so that the pads give the wheels a little more room to wiggle around as it turns.
