i got my red alligators yesterday and threw them on my superglider this afternoon before work...went for a quick test ride down the (glassy-smooth
) block and they are
wonderful!!! if i was any heavier/had softer bushings, they'd bite--they're a bit bigger than my worn-down superballs--but instead they just provide a plush ride like i'd hoped! they look rad, all wide and stuff, and bright red to add some pizazz! also, they pump
much better than the superballs...a function of the squarer lip i assume, but i really have no idea. makes me excited to try some zigs or 66mm superballs on it in the future.
tonight when i got home (40 min ago) i went for a nice cool night ride around the neighborhood, and pumped most of the way until my lead foot hurt
i can hold a way faster pump with these wheels than i could with the 70mm superballs.
anyways, i'm just stoked. i'd recommend the alligators to anyone. i have the 62mm blues on my mini too and they're just as plush. very very nice wheels
