Yak 100mm x 88a question/choice?

[Mike Melisky]

I've been riding stock razor pros since I started scooting way back and I think it's time for an upgrade. I was just about to order Yak 100 x 78s off of Inward but they all went out of stock. Will 88a's fit my stock razor pro? More importantly, I'd really appreciate it if someone told me what 88a stands for.

Yes it will fit.
88a is the hardness of the urethane on the core of ur wheel, so it doesnt matter. As long as the wheels are not over 110mm they will fit!

Thanks a ton, Ryan! : )

No problem.

in all honesty you are better off with razor pro wheels then the yaks, the pro wheels are cheaper AND better.

 

[jordyskoots]

what billie said pro stocks are better

 

[nitroRCs]

If you break the cores just hot glue pro wheels, but yes, they are MUCH better!

Mmm...Too late :L Well atleast I get to try out a new kind of wheel, thanks for the help guys :]

have fun destroying that wheel.
Also A stands for how hard something is, for instance
a green machine is a hard wheel rated at 91a (i think)
where as the red on blue core yaks are soft, so those are 78a

the lower the A the softer

also next time post in the right section, Scooters -> wheels/bearings

Seriously man, dont waste your money. if you weigh over 100 pounds and ride moderately hard, you goin to ruin them in one day. everyone on this sight told me to stick with stock pros, but I was like ya right, they'll be fine and I rolled the rubber off in less than an hour. I think pros are like $1.50 on inward, just saved your money and buy pros, or go all in and buy eagles or something nice like that. just my 2 cents.

Yeah TP, thanks for your comment, I made a stupid move. Their burning down like nothing. They ride pretty smooth but if I continue riding them they're shot. There was a flaw in one when i got it (the glue was all screwed up) so i wrote to the manufacturers to see if I could get some money back or something...At the moment I have a razor pro stock on the back and yak on the front and it's holding up decently.

Thanks for the warnings guys, i appreciate the concern and I should've listened haha.
