    Default Anyone have chart for wheel to MPH ratings?

    I was wondering the speed ratings on wheels. Anyone have any kind of chart that rates wheels in mph? Example= the XtremeWheelz 8ball is rated at 100mph (it isnt, but you get the point), thanks

    no ratings

    all wheels are rated "as fast as you can make them go"

    flywheels are faster than most
    as dark as a black steer's toocus on a moonless prairie night.

    Well I've seen some pretty nasty pics of the Krypto "circle" core wheels... I wouldn't say that any wheel is rated "as fast as you can go".

    do you mean X wheel will reach a top speed of ___ on a constant streatch? because unless you get a bad bath of wheels any wheel will get you up to 80mph its jsut a question of how fast you get there.
    now back to non religious * where\'s my bong

    If you think you\'ll fall, you will.
    If you think you\'ll make it, you will.

    Old Krypto classic 70mm used to have "30 MPH MAX" printed in white letters on the inside edge of the wheel .These were purchased late 80's early 90's.

    Hmmm... seeing that the krypto classic design has changed very little since then, and they still use the same cores... makes you wonder about your kryptos.... unlesss you weren't already
