The tsunamis's rule. 85a orange and they come in 59mm too and I think you can get them here..smoothest ride ever
Sweet. Need new wheels. Gunna try these Tsunamis'.
expect an order soon drew.
Bought me a riprider today.
best roll ever!
i recommend to everyone they pay the $300 odd dollars to get themselves one:)
well worth it.
i dont get the wheel softness/hardness rating thing, like with the 85a, 95a etc etc haha
someone fill me in please?
The average wheel is about 99a, so going by that, 95 will be a fraction more grippy, 92 is much more grippy but still only just able to cess slide on them, anything softer than that, like 87a is very soft and gummy so when you roll and turn using trucks to lean left or right, it is more a ground hugging carve feel than a fast roll and slide feel as you would have on harder wheels.
The d scale eg 98d on new spitfire F1 park burner wheels or other scale is a little different but still about the same hardness
Oh yeah.. See that red truck on the rear? That's a 145 dollar truck. The axle is machined so that the bearing sits snug with the axle nut kranked fully tight. With a set of Moch9 Oust bearings my rear wheels spin for about 5 to 10 minutes with one kick thanks to no vibration in the wheel at all.
