yak metal cores or yak plastic cores? (front wheel help)

[DevonIs1337]

currently running an eagle in the back... but i'm curious as to what wheel i should run in the front.

i ain't gonna lie, i really like how the scat metal cores look, but i've heard/seen some really bad stories/reviews/etc.

is it still better than a standard plastic core, though?

probably. the only tings i have heard negatively were the plastic bearing cups breaking and ovalizing. I also heard that the urathane slides.

*to be honest. i heard that the yak USA is a good wheel. depends what size your eagle is.

yak scats suck, the urethane starts to chunk like the first day. If they don'nt chunk then they are pretty nice. I am running one in the back right now, the bearing cups are so loose and mine is chunking.

Yak skats are fast but the bearing cups need to be epoxied and they dehub easy. Half the urethane on the wheel has simply broke off on all 4 of my skats. If they were bonded better to the wheel I would buy more for the price but even on the front I broke the urethane half off the wheel.

hence the name "scat"

if you ride them in front they arn't really that bad but mine had like airbubbles in it and when i started to wear it down it had these air pockets

Iv chunked a few yaks on the front each in a matter of a few weeks.

Yak Plastic Cores are pretty good. Stronger then the metal ones.

Yak Plastic Cores are pretty good. Stronger then the metal ones.

The 78a yaks suck, as do the 88a blue on black. The 78a's don't dehub but they chunk so easy and the rims crack unless glued. The 88a dehub and the rims break.

I'd go hot glued yak low profile or hot glued yak pro
