    what kinda riding you doing?
    manx in that size seem pretty rare, pink gummies a probably faster than the greens but will wear out faster. 78a gummies feel sluggish on the flats in my opinion. great grip for DH though

    Second that, man, the Pink line is chapstick, absolute chapstick! (that's a compliment). Remember, the BizZigs/Gumballs are a kick a$$ urethane, same as ZigZags, but the seven=ohs have a beautiful personality all their own, I never take them off my Vanguard.

    Yeah, I have a set of the manx 74s. The only problem with manx is that they're duro is almost always wrongly marked on the wheel. I have bought a total of 8 manx at this point marked in duros 78,80, and 84. However When I checked them with a duro-meter they all came in a 82a. They are fast, and they grip like wheels half their size. But, in the end if you want speed get the big zigs/gummies.
