At 125 pounds, I can slide wheels for months and wear about 2mm off. The upside of being light.

**Longbord1** · 06-04-2009 04:42 PM

I throw full weight into slides and it doesn't do ####... O well...

**NickCrotch** · 06-04-2009 05:11 PM

im 104 lbs and i got the tunnels to wear

**Anton Milioti** · 06-04-2009 07:41 PM

took about 16mm off before the flatspot came.

do flatspots on wheels really sound like helicopters? lol

**neuros** · 06-05-2009 12:07 AM

they sounds a little like helicopters... one real bad flatspot out of a set sounds like a 2 stroke.

and flannel those s9 RF's hold up very well to slidage

the rf's are really sick wheels. They last longer than 75a flys but slide just as well and grip a great deal more... really sweet all-around DH wheels.

speaking of the life of 75a flys:

sector 9 race formula

**CasterTown** · 06-10-2009 12:06 AM

sector 9 race-formula wheels (specifically the center-set ones in this case)

**rosewood thief** · 06-10-2009 12:14 AM

at 80lbs, i go through slide wheels once a year, and i usually slide on shitty pavement, #### yeah

**SeanML** · 06-10-2009 12:19 AM

I love my race formulas... (76mm/78a) they're my favorite for sliding. I'm probably going to get some harder ones after I go through this set though (this will probably be a very long time from now... I only weigh 130)

**jeremyheuser** · 06-10-2009 12:57 AM

83mm 81a flywheels....... truly horrible wheels down to the core.... glad they're dead

**CasterTown** · 06-10-2009 01:09 AM

hahaha 81a fly's are the worst wheels in history

**green** · 06-10-2009 03:45 AM

76mm 75a flys are probably one of my favorite wheels. Next to 74mm 75a s9 Ghost thane.

Why's that?

I'm actually really curious. I had a set for almost a year and enjoyed them. I recently traded them for bennets because I didn't need more than one set of wheel over 75mm. Overall a fine wheel. I know we all have different opinions, I'm just curious.
