Hi all,
My 5 year old daughter wanted a scooter so we got a Madd Gear (Blade) on special last weekend, I noticed it was rated to 100kg so I got me one to.
I left hers stock but knew I'd have to reinforce mine, being 80kg and all.
So I reinforced the deck, welded more around the dropouts (if that's what they're called) and welded on some 'L shape' brackets to the drop outs. Wider bars and bolted the fold mech. I've already snapped a wheel so I'm going to pick up a metal core on the weekend.
What I wanted to know was wheel hardness, higher the number is it harder? What is a good street hardness, I'm not worried if they wear out quick i want good grip. Also should I go 110mm if it will fit. I've seen some with diff size wheels front and back. Why is this?
Cheers.

Thanks guys, yeah i try tricks, even though I'm old, I snapped the back hub trying a 180.
Is it much better running 110 instead of 100, why?
If it is I'll grind the brake.
What hardness are the stock Madd wheels?

I own WSP.
Compared to 100mm, 110mm have more urathane, and more ground clearance, other than that there's not much difference.

Higher the number = Harder urathane. Go with 86a because it is good for street and park. Metal cores last about 3 months befor wearing out.

Madd Gear wheels aren't too bad on the front, there's absolutely no point running them on the back though.
I'd definately look at an eaglesport for a back wheel, and as said, a yak for the front wheel, unless you'd like to get both and splurge :)
Yak Low Profile wheels on the front are quite nice, whereabouts are you from?
