75a or 78a Gumballs

[McPhenius]

I won an auction on eBay for a new set of Gumballs 76mm & 75a. However, the ones I got were 78a.

I have been waiting to skate on Gumballs for a week now and I hate to send them back and wait again for the 75a.

For just crusing the sidewalks and streets, should I consider sending them back or go with the 78a?

I have been following the threads and some say the 75a are the best and others say 78a.

78a is practically the standard duro in longboarding and perfect for what you wanna do.

78 will be just fine.

it will not only roll faster, but will slide a little easier. and its still a good duro for bumps and cracks.. pretty much anything up to 85ish is good for comfortable cruising.

Great, I'll keep them. I tried the 90mm / 75a Flywheels and those roll a mile. But I do see where I have to push off alittle harder. I am throwing the Gumballs on now.
