is the drift/slide on 70mm kryptos as smooth as the drift/slide on 80mm krypto's?

Yup, they lasted me a really long time.
As i got closer to the core the wear just slows down, kinda weird.

about how big is the core on the 70mm kryptos, i have a set down to about a 60mm inner diameter, luckiliy i have some pink powerballs on the way for when i kill them.

I also have some inheats that i'm contemplating radiusing/possibly making centerset.

I love my yellow freeriders, no flatspots or anything yet. They're down to 62mm. They don't last very long but they're great wheels while they do.

I wish I had some pics of DBQ's slide board wheels.
It looks like he's skating on mini marshmellows.

**lollygag** · 03-27-2009 04:43 PM

I have an almost related story: When I was maybe 12 or 13 I was rollerblading in my driveway and went in for some water. While I was in there I heard some noise coming from my garage and went out to see what was going on. I see 4 kids, about my age (but much bigger) darting out of my driveway with my bike and my dad's very expensive new driver. I didn't think, I just started chasing them. Thank God I still had my rollerblades on, or I probably wouldn't have caught up to them. I was angry and started shouting at them and eventually they dropped all their stuff and ran. Turns out they had snagged a bunch of other junk from other people's garages too. I got a few bucks from the people who's stuff they'd dropped as a reward.

Sorry about that, I just had to share. Anyways, if you're in another set of City Streets, there's an eBay auction going on for some yellow ones. NOS VINTAGE CITY STREET DUB CON 80S SKATEBOARD WHEELS - eBay (item 110367788182 end time Mar-29-09 19:37:57 PDT)

Keep looking on eBay and possibly craigslist, the culprit might try to sell them on there.
