never heard of em'

I`m guessing Strikers replaced them, by the looks of the Stingers

[stringtheory]

I wonder why they have the word "green" on them.

Truth be told, the Avalon retired the Stingers.

I might be wrong but I think Stingers and the Turner La Costas came out of the same mold. They were the only thing available in early 2002 but as soon as the first Avalons came on the market (March '02?), the smaller core wheels were just overwhelmed.

Abec11 used to have orange wheels. The first flywheels were orange core and orange thane

[Parallel Man]

Were Flywheels "orange" or "natural" 'thane like early wheels from the '70s? (Cadillacs and Continentals.)

The only original Flywheels I ever saw were Bill Tway's and as best I recall they were that "pure" urethane amber color. (In other words, the plastic wasn't dyed one way or the other.)

I remember the old Fly's. I just don't undeerstand the concept of putting the word green on an obviously green wheel. Lol..

Old stuff

if you see a shot of the whole wheel, they're side-set...if i recall correctly, they were made from rollerskate wheel molds. the most direct comparison i could draw to today's wheels would probably be a speedvent, only smaller

[Crappysurfer1]

yeah, not similar to strikers at all, they are sideset and have a lip

[Mac]

I have a set I would part with if the price is right... Let me look at condition and duro....PM me if interested

It doesn't say out of stock, but I'm guessing they are.
