Default Re: Looking for new wheels on my Dervish

The bearings doesn`t matter much....

On my Dervish I`ve used lime Big Zigs, 81a Gumballs, Orangatang In Heats and now Fish Balls, wich is the Retro Powerballs in reflex urethane. The smaller Fish Balls makes for easier pushing, quicker turning and they`re easy to slide. With it`s smaller contact patch and rounded edges you`ll do sacrifice some grip, that`s ok for me.

A good alternative is 70mm Zigzags or 70mm Orangatang 4Presidents, more grip than Powerballs and still has the quicker rolling advantages of smaller wheels.

Other options are 70mm EW Superballs, 71mm Aligators, Tunnel Tarantulas ... All good wheels.
