Abec 11 Gumballs

[Tripped]

Hey, planning on getting a set of these for my evo. This will be my purely downhill board which I hope to soon setup with a pair of smokeys. I like that these have a wide contact path, and they're the optimal size for my preference. Would they be prime for downhill, and how crazy should I go with getting super soft duro?

No Gumballs aren`t a prime choice for downhill anymore, you`d be better off with a set of lime BigZigs if you want wheels in that size.

Gumballs are not particularly grippy and they do not slide particularly well.

This makes them a big "meh" for downhill speedboarding.

If you would like to grip, try some BigZigz, probably in Green 80a

If you want a crazy drifty times ride, try some orange (82a) hawgs.

[Sneakerholic]

Bui some Bigzigs, they are the right choice.

Like you've been told, BiG ZiGers.
Feel the ever loving grippyiness

I would have to agree with everyone else. Big zigs are great wheels. So are Earthwing Superballs. Gumballs are great for a smooth cushy ride but like others have said, they don't drift nicely.

I have gumballs on my evo. It is set up for riding around campus and yes the gumballs are very cushy and comfortable. So smooth

As far as downhill goes, to be completely honest I switch my wheels out for DH. Gumballs are not your best choice, as it seems like this will be a downhill only board.

+1 for zigs

[Tripped]

Big Zigs eh, sounds like a plan!

Sorry, maybe I'm missing something... I have no idea where to find their website. link?

oh my bad, didn't realize they were made by retro.

those wheels look like exactly what I want (know I shouldn't base it on colour, but I do like to go with a green theme on my evo). Thanks a lot, I think I'm gonna buy those fo sho!
