    Default Abec 11 Fresh Fish Contest Part 3

    After reviewing the last 2 polls, I have decided to change the schedule and devote this week to voting for the final wheel shape and formula. It is now narrowed down to 2 products, 70mm Grippins with Reflex Thane, or 76mm Flywheels with Reflex thane. The Duros of these wheels will be voted on the dates March 15th-21st.


    70mm Zig Zags with Classic thane with 78a and 81a duro will now be added to the Abec 11 lineup! Thanks for the input!

    I believe the 78a Zig Zag is already there, but the 81a will be awesome

    My vote went to Fly's here....

    i went with grippins. I have nothing to put 76mm wheels on and no real reason to use flys. Happy to hear about the classic zigs though.

    Grippy reflex thane. Now we need to ask ourselves what makes more since, a grippy profile or a slidey profile?

    Haha I just realized that what brian is doing is a little r&d for chris without spending any money lol. Free input from the fish community is the best when you want to develop something new!!!

    REFLYS definitely.

    theres already a smaller option for reflex thane, 66-75mm . it being centerset is cool and all but bleh.

    bring on the next wheels that will actually impact the scene a little at least. people that buy reflys will not take away from sales of other abec 11 wheels, but the Re-ppins ( reflex grippins. lol) will take away from the zig zag sales.

    from a financial standpoint it makes sense to open up your market rather than crowding it more.

    its just logic.

    I like my lemons, but they are not as grippy as I would have thought. On a smooth road though they feel really fast. I only like to use them for nice smooth downhill.

    I had lime that were VERY grippy. I tried to drift a turn and it never worked out very well.

    well im content now that 81a classic zigs are coming out, voted for the grippins just because having the reflex in flys makes no sense. People werent crazy about the reflex freerides so i don't see why these will be much different (too sticky for freeriding, too drifty for downhill)

    OK on topic....81a Classic Zigs will be nice....Reflys are a limited use wheel and Regrippins are a nice general purpose wheel.....
