All proto wheels have a lifetime warranty on dehubbing

tru so u rekon grippers or sliders or a combination?

 

[SeanGarschi]

Grippers, don't waste it time trying to find a combo

 

[benotimms@bigpond.com]

ok thanks ill get them

Protos are better then Eagles and the new Protos are VERY hard to dehub.

And its a win win cause they have a lifetime warrenty on ovalising and dehubbing.

Protos FTW!

It's your choice don't listen to what other people prefer, people have different opinions on what wheels they prefer, also there are new phoenix wheels coming soon

go both silders and grippers just becareful which ones you get otherwise theyll dehub and youl be stuffed

 

[ReeceJones]

protos, you cant beat a lifetime warrenty

If you dehub your proto wheel, how exactly do you get the warranty on it? I live in australia and ordering it off an australian website.

if u ride park, grippers and street, sliders

 

[D ∆ V I D]

well i ride a mixture of concrete park and wood park, with some occasional street i want some white on silvers full core, and you can get only sliders that color on blazinride. id really want to know whats better, and if the PU is hard on sliders. and one last question, do sliders grip the surface well at all, or do they slide out alot which is what i dont want.

 

[nitroRCs]

I would say, in your case the grippers are the go. Grippers are a all round wheel that will take street and park, where as sliders will slip out on park.

And yes, the sliders will slip out on wood, where as the grippers will be hard to slip.

Basically, get grippers if you do both street and park, or and sliders if you do street.

 

[JA©K]

what if you do more street than you do park.? which of the two would be better?

 

[parrish]

probably sliders

 

[tylerbillman]

Get Grippers, they're the best wheels in existance. They're not as easy to dehub as many people believe, you just can't go straight to your sketchboss flyout riding out of the box.
YOU HAVE TO WEAR THEM IN.
Ride them around just on flat, kicking alot, going faster, etc just ride around and let them break in a bit before progressing to your normal riding.

ive had 100mm eagles, 110mm eagles, proto gripers, and spoked grippers and sliders, and i have to say that the 110mm eagles where the best

 

[Rob.]

I've had 110 luckys, protos, eagles...
I like my luckys so far. slightly less than my protos and much more than my eagles.

I'd rock protos or luckys.
