Just wondering

How are some Krypto 76mm's gunna slide?

they are gunna slide like Krypto 76mm's

depends on the duro, deck and road conditions

in the softer duro's krypts tend to slide well, a hard drift and choppy when comming back into line. But if you get used to them...

yea, ive got the green kryptos 85a apparently, they're slightly used, approx. 67mm average, slightly coned... i havent gotten used to sliding them yet, i can only get 180s.

damn those green kryptos slide nice, the blue ones are probably decent, but avoid the red and white like the plague

Does it matter what color the whells are in order for them to slide?

Yes. Here's the breakdown for the Classic K's and Hawaii's:

Red -- Softest (white is usually the same hardness)
Blue -- Medium
Green -- Hardest

I'd tell you the durometer (hardness) of the colors, but truth is, none of the wheels test out to what they claim, so it's all relative.

[stanton]

how do you test the duro anyways?

[Paul from cambridge]

bite the wheels the softer they are they softer the duro.

softer wheels slide nice and smooth (granted you are going fast and you have straight axes) harderwheels slide faster

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... wheels

[stanton]

yeah i suppose 75a grippins would be nice n' chewy, like a rubber band or pencil eraser, and 98a bowlriders would be more like a jawbreaker. 81a flashbacks would be somewhere between a hard boiled egg and calamari.
