90mm flywheel duro?

**Longbord1** · 12-21-2005 07:45 PM

well i think i want to get flywheels and im not sure on a good duro. is 81a a good duro? grippy? absorbs shocks? also will these fit my loaded pintail? becaus i know it says the limit is 85 but im wondering if the flywheels will be ok. i have 81a strikers and they grip wheel but its kind of a totally different wheel

i also see a lot on having 78a but thats for 83mm would they be the same or because of all the thane 81 is better? they grip well right?

I think depth of urethane is another thing to look at. Flys are super easy to drift in lower duros, even 75a will break away easily, keep that in mind.

yeah definatley. do they have basically the same profile as strikers? i have strikers in 81a and they grip very very well. and i heard the newer flywheels grip lke madd too

Not at all. Strikers and Flys have completely different feelings underfoot.

..I like my 90mm Fly's with 75a duro. If fact all my garage/downhill wheels are softer duro's. My slalom boards have a little harder duro. On fairly rough pavement the 90mm 75a Flys float above the pavement. Its all preference though.

75A.

ok im not sure right now. i might go ahead and try the 90s in 81a and im sure i could get rid of them if i needed too. i have strikers in 81a and i like how the thane feels. anyone else have 81a? can you tell me how they feel

...hmm 4K posts between us who have 75a duro Fly's and he still wants more info.

I tell ya..75a is so buttery on pavement. No noise all poise.

Read what everyone is recommending.

My personal Strikers are 78a, and my 90mm Flywheels are 75a. I might consider bumping the Fly's up to 78a, but definitely not 81a.
