Right out of the box, these wheels were super fast and smooth. I thought that gumballs smoothed out rough pavement, but then i rode these. There is no comparison for speed. These are by far the fastest wheels i have ever ridden.

Equipment Reviews

What Setup are you running them on?: original hybrid with s8s and reds
Typical Discepline?: carving, cruising
How much did you pay for them?: $55
Where did you buy them?: Skates on Haight
What are their weaknesses?: not good at sliding, but they arent really designed for sliding so yeah.
What are their strengths?: I have the 75a 85mm and they are the right amount of grip for carving, not as grippy as i thought they would be, but that might be because of my trucks which slide any wheels ive ridden easily.
