What 110mm wheels is good for going fast on asphalt.
Is it a lot of difference in rolling resistance between cheap and expensive wheels?
How about bearings - is the difference noticable between brands? Recommendations?

What do you mean "were"? I know they stopped making the 100mm, but is there another, faster plastic core wheel out there I should know about?

Also is there any real difference speed wise/feel wise between the 90mm and 100mm GM's?

I have a sem-stupid question, and this also might be the wrong place to ask, but i didnt want to start a new thread,

I heard james gee say that certain lucky wheels were slow, and that 110's were faster than 100's. but i always thought that it was only bearings that effected speed? is it just because larger wheels absorb more of the cracks/rocks in the ground and just glide over them? im not sure and i was confused.

well the bigger the wheel the higher the top speed. the smaller the wheel the higher the acceleration. but bearings also do play a part. the biggest factor in wheel speed is the wheel itself and the quality of the urethane.

Hi!
I'm thinking about buying new wheels cause my eagles are chunked as hell. I really love feeling of their PU it's so fast but the wheels are getting shit within' a month. I was thinking about Proto grippers but my question is, are they much slower than eagles? When i rode yak low profiles i felt like the urethane was melted

What wheels should I get? I'm in need for decent wheels haha. I ride mainly street.. Park probably once every week or two, I'm pretty clean but do tend to land stuff sketchy at times, and I whore sliders and such.. Damn i wish they still made proto sliders </3. Grippers, Demons, or Phoenixes.. any recommendations?

I utterly fucked my razor ultra pro back wheel and thought may as well go and buy a new set of wheels. What's some wheels for a beginner - Average rider 65kg that will last a long time? Aiming for a low price as well. Thanks

Hey people. My sponsor told me, that I can choose between Blunt or Phoenix 110 wheels. I really love the design of the blunts, and I like the smaller layer of PU. Also, some people say, that Phoenix wheels last longer? But which wheels are best?
And what are the specs?

razor wheels

hi i was looking for a cheap pair of wheels and i saw on ebay that they have razor metal core wheels for only $30 for two of them so i was wondering if these wheels were any good, and if not what are some good, inexpensive ones?

Are Demon solid cores any better than Yak Scats or FAs? Especially for street.
