    hmmm... that's not been my experience. lemon retros have been more durable than my otangs, my my purple otangs are definitely more durable than lime retros. i don't think that otangs wear that quickly. also, maybe just the way you slide causes your wheels to wear more. having more refined technique puts more even, consistent wear on your wheels and will help them to last longer.

    i want to say fyres because i see what looks like a set pin and it looks like the truck is recessed for the bushing and has two steps for the bearing pins.

    chances are im wrong though.

    it's not my technique
    I've gotten the deathswirl with purple and yellow otang thane
    and my lime freerides are definitely more durable than otang thane

    Bruce looks like your on a landy switch, right? Is your friend the pink (maybe venom SW's?) wheels on a nemesis?

    not to say that they aren't fun wheels.
    kjc is not hyping, these wheels are not just harder... they're of a completely different thane than the regular 4prez. I didn't get a chance to really try to rail corners with them to test grip, but the slide is delicious, and the thane is invincible.

    Because I have never seen a man can stand slide smoothly in slowly speed without Orangatang.

    if they wear slower than the 86a freerides, I'll consider buying them

    I'm not hating on orangatangs btw, they're awesome wheels, I just they didn't cost so much/wear so quick
