Abec11 Gumballs, 75a

Let me start by saying these wheels are very nice,
I first got these wheels for a nice soft cruising wheel and loaded them on my dervish.
But after the first couple of days the mould release wore off and boom, i had a really, really drifty wheel.
So i put them on my Mini Killswitch and was immediately throwing longer stand up slides.
Because of the wider contact patch they took a fair bit more effort to break out, but once they were sliding these were so easy to control and the hookup was perfect.
The only problem i had with these wheels was the wear and the massive lack of flat spot resistance, it only took a couple of sessions to wear 8mm off these and make them look like eggs.

All in all a great wheel, and i would highly recommend it to someone who prefers to freeride on 'race' wheels, as its a nice middle ground between grip and that mad drift we all crave.
