    Wheels in the mid 60's should suit you well.
    Do you have risers?
    be sure to get bearing spacers.

    Big wheels are not needed for downhill.

    70mm wheels may fit with the right riser/bushing combo.

    81a flashbacks all the way! theyre the best all aroud wheel. theyll do DH just fine. Ive got them on my mystery model and they rock. you dont need 75mm wheels to do DH. I second the bearing spacers, definitely important.
