I have some reds and some abes 5 and the reds are faster. I was thinking the slower wheels in the back so u can manual easier and not fall off back wards while landing tricks if u land 2 far back.

So faster wheel Fw or BW?
and slower wheel FW or BW?

I would much rather have the faster wheel in back so that I can manual farther. You already have to use your brake sometimes and that slows you down enough. If you land leaning back it won't matter how fast the wheel is, you're going down either way.

Plus idk if you bri but some people shove the scooter out on the back wheel when they do it really fast to get some momentum and thats easier with a faster wheel.

If you want them even then put a red and a abec 5 in the back, and a red and an abec 5 in the front so they're mixed and they'll both be the same. Or you could just go get a pack of reds for like 10 bucks and be even and faster.

just get shake juntss :)
also js but abec 5 means absolutely nothing. Abec ratings are irrelevant to scooters/skateboards. Just get bones speed cream and clean up your bearings and theyll all be fast.

I heard that mixing bearings like that will make your wheel undialed and slower. Because both the bearings wont rotate at the same speed.
