100 vs 100's street riding

[Robert Reichley]

I was wondering if 100 or 110mm wheels affect anything for street. i know it affects ground clearance and balance point obv. but what about doing drops and shit? i want some protos but im broke as hell and c4 is selling 100mm blanks for 4 bucks a wheel

 

[Robert]

clearance, and speed, thats it I think.

 

[Robert Reichley]

less speed on smaller wheels? or more?

 

[Robert]

less speed on smaller wheels? or more?

Less, smaller wheels=more friction.

 

[Robert Reichley]

more friction=less speed correct?

 

[tylerbillman]

yes. but 4 dollar wheels are hard to pass up. i'd just snag them.

 

[Garrett B]

Hahha, I got dem 35 dollar bars. C4 is so legit.

 

[issac p]

$4 a wheel is so legit. if only they were 110...

 

[coltonjr2]

Id be snaggin a good 5 pairs of them 4$ wheels..

 

[matr!]

Snap them up they're a bargain. Or grab yourself some pro model wheels. You can't really beat them for a buck 50.

Pretty much 110s are faster and you have more ground clearance as other people mentioned. You'll also impress more children if you have 110 mm wheels.

 

[Jamie Gantz]

you go slower with 100's. and speed is a good thing when you're riding street. I'd stick to 110's. if you're looking for cheap 110's, skyhigh has some envy 110's for like 18 bucks a wheel or something.

I grabbed a pair for my spare

 

[Robert Reichley]

yeaa if only the c4 wheels were 110's id buy like 20 pairs of those shits and be set for lifeee.

and garrett how are those bars? im thinking of buying a pair just cause theyre 35 bucks

 

[GMscoot]

Yah how are they? I heard they are heavy

 

[Robert Reichley]

greg said he rode a pair and liked them if im not mistaken.

 

[netty speghetti]

I just bought a set for my daughter so she is so stoked! 13$ shipped is a hella deal for a set of wheels

 

[Madis]

ground clearance diffirence is just 5mm (since the radius only grows just 5mm, not 10mm). Although some streets/spots may be a little rough, so having biggers wheels might come handy in those situations. But if you're riding some ledges/rails at parks or on smooth terrain, then 100mm will do just fine. 4$ a wheel is a prettty darn good.

They might be $4, but c4 wheels are pretty bad quality. When I first started riding and I could only do 360's and tailwhips I dehubbed a c4 in a week.

 

[Robert Reichley]

well idk.. i ride pretty hard and i NEVER dehub wheels for some reason.. i only chunk them and then they explode

 

[Michael Osterlund]

buy 2 pairs of the c4 wheels for 16$
