    Abec 11 doesn't make wheels for anyone, even themselves. But the same people who make their wheels, make wheels for other people, sure.

    The company that pours ABEC11 also pours 3dm and Seismic wheels, as well as some of the (newer) Sector 9 wheels.

    Krypto wheels are pretty weak, and about to get worse with their outsourcing BS.

    I would like to see someone, anyone offering a sideset, double radiused wheel, similar to kryptos but with GOOD urethane. I love my kryptos because the design of the wheels is good for all around and sliding, they are good wheels, they just need to be brought up to date, either by kryptonics (which wont happen because of the current outsourcing) or by someone else.

    I believe what you're looking for is a striker by Abec11.
    In Soviet Russia, longboard rides YOU.

    The current (cored) Gravity wheels are poured by Bravo, aka, Kryptonics.

    I've got a set of the S9 Goddess of Speed wheels at the moment. I'm using them for cruising and some mild carving and am quite happy with them. They're super smooth and ride like your on rails (at least as far as I've pushed them). Overall I'm really happy with them. (To be fair, I haven't tried a whole lot of longboard wheels.)
    \"Of all the things I\'ve lost, I miss my mind the most.\" ...so just relax and have fun.
