man like 4 weeks of riding and my wheels are coned! not much maybe 4 degrees on the worst one but WTF? I never coned my old wheels in years. I ride 70mm 78a on a flexy pintail. How fast do y'all cone your wheels?

The 78a wheels are pretty soft wheels. I think four weeks is pretty good. I can usually cone my wheels after a 3 or 4 hour carving session. Throw in a few slides or rear wheel drifted turn and they'll be coned right pretty quickly. As long as you don't have a flat spot, I wouldn't be worried about the coning. It usually helps the wheels grip better if there's a little wear on it. I've got some skate tips on my blog. I'll try to post some photos of my wheels if you're interested.
