[Closed] Can 5 10 stealth rubber get damaged/hard?

Hey,

On the last few rides my 5 10's seem to have got a lot less grippy and quickly. I have changed my grub screws as well to see if that was the issue and its not. Is it possible that I may have "burnt" them hard on a radiator while drying them or done something else, or am I just being useless again.

Happy riding this weekend folks!

Could it be the cold temperatures making the rubber harder until they warm back up?

Had that on a couple of occasions with mine. Found that washing them on a quick cycle at 40 deg and drying naturally brings the softness and stickiness back

Dry my three pairs on the radiator after a cycle in the washing machine and just a quick rinse , always super sticky. So much so that they they stick to the kitchen ceramic tiles after.
