i have 75mm big zigs and once broken in slide great on my dervish,

Anything sized 72-76ish is a good size

Stimulus are reall really nice. Slide like hot buttah. I love them. They are fast too if you like the hills. Durians are the same thing, just bigger. You may get a little better ride quality from the larger wheel. Just close your eyes and point at one. You'll be happy either way.

get DURIANS!!! they'll last longer

**killdozer** · 07-15-2009 05:24 PM

Yeah if wheelbite isn't an issue just get the Durians.

I just bought my durians yesterday and the are amazing and you can use them for everything but if you are just mainly doing slides the fat frees breakaway easily and feel amazing but they all do. I recomend either the durians or the fat frees stimulous are nice but I have to say that some other boards they just SUCK ,althougth they all are nice wheels.

**BAUER** · 07-16-2009 02:16 PM

no point in any other.. the 75mm will just wear down to the other sizes.

get 75mm

durians, never rode them but they sound sick and the are grippy but eventually will break out to sliding.

**BAUER** · 07-16-2009 02:35 PM

durians are great for freeriding, slide great.

**akimaveur** · 07-16-2009 03:36 PM

i like the stimuli

durians are too big

When I was first introduced to Otang wheels I rode the Fat Free for about 15 minutes and they were such a blast. I was gonna get them but the guy at the shop was riding with me and he talked me into the Stimulus. He showed me his after 3 months of riding. They were coned nice but not overly worn. He said he had heard of people saying they didn't last long but after seeing his and he is a full time rider/shop owner, I can say that they do last for a while. Just take care of them. Yeah if you slide every 3 seconds going down the road they will wear fast, but if you slide, cruise and hit the hills they will last you. It isn't like the thane just fall off the hubs lol.

Just got mine and I whole heartedly agree. I've been sliding campus all day. What a wonderful wheel. No complaints.

I've had my Durians for a month or so now and I am in love. the grip they give while bombing is really nice. They speed check nicely and slide nicely when broken in. They say they are pre-broken-in but they really dont start sliding until like day 3 (2 or 3 hours a day). i dont think i'll even bother with a different wheel because this does everything I would like for it to do.

75mm is the best for sliding?

Learn to brain. Size has NOTHING (nothing) to do with slide characteristics.

**Bloodstain** · 08-21-2009 05:10 PM

The bigger the wheel the longer it will last?

well considering the contact patch sizes, it DOES have something to do with slide characteristics. the wider the wheel the more friction you have. the free rides all have different size contact patches which still makes his question valid. but either way, the durian can still slide and gives a smoother ride over rougher terrain.
