    Are 85mm krypto cores bigger than the 76mm ones?

    i'm going to have to take back all the nasty things i said about 86a freerides...

    once they cone they drift quite nicely...wish it didn't take quite as LONG to get them to that stage, but hey....still retracting my " i'm underwhelmed by these wheels" comment.

    Yeah man they're rad. Mine started to oval, and it became too annoying to ride. I never cored them, but they got close.

    I just got some 85mm 78a Hawgs. I've only ridden them a few times, but they're looking to be just as good.

    Same here. Once they ovaled, I put them on my Superglider to try and wear them a little quicker, but it just made them more misshapen. At that point I considered them done.

    Blimey, I think mine are a little smaller than that (minus the flat spot). Can't be long left until the core! If only they'd stop bloody ovaling...

    Was that the quest departure and the blast waves that I traded him for the evo?
