they all run the same spacers, but with the old grippers, u need to adjust the width of the spacer a little, u can use a hammer for that

the bearing slots on the new protos are slightly deeper then the old ones so its not necessarily a bad thing but it can slide back and forth a little but no noise or anything bad. but i filed my spacer down a little and solved the problem. all in all awsome wheels, the new spoked protos r amazingly light and super strong i highly reccomend them to anyone.

The bearing slots ar good. They make it so it dont wobble or anything, but u can get them in and out nice and easy.

What do u mean by this deeper bearing slots thing??
 
YES. I got black on silver full sliders. They took me like a week or two to wear in but I've had them since beginning of January and I ride almost everyday and there perfectly worn-in and nothing wrong with them. PROTO SLIDERS-10/10!!!! GET THEM!!

No noise? Not. Mine were pissing me off cuz of the bearings going back in forth. I still love Proto wheels tho, theres nothing better.
