Ordered a Korg SV-2 88-key stage piano as an alternative to a Kawai MP7SE in my main studio. It will primarily be used for R&B songwriting and music production.

Played one of these in store. It sounds really good, and that Nu-Tube actually adds a little character to it.

Always loved the sound and styling of these, should pair rather nicely with the Kawai.

I tried putting 55mm 101a wheels on my cruiser for learning tricks, but I hate them from cruising which is what I do 90% of the time. They’re so LOUD and slow I’m embarrassed when slowly passing people walking in the same direction going KRRRSSSSCCHHHHHHH.
Compared to the cruiser wheels that are big and soft and go fast and sound like SSHHHHHH

Personally small hard wheels have one purpose only = skatepark.
For everything else, soft wheels.

Ya 101a is the hardest. You want squishies for cruisin’ 80a. They aren’t as fast. But they smoooove. And if you can find them in black, black is even softer. 80a black 
90a is good too. But I love 80a. Soft wheels tend to be bigger mm. They used to make Street Bones soft and small. Freestyle wheels were even smaller, I used to live those before small wheels became a thing. But smaller diameter tho = less speed.
Again 80a, black if you can find em.
These are kinda big.

Personally I 100% stay away from black wheels.
I used to work in the skate industry, colours do weird things to urethane, black being the worst.
All thanes are not equal, its not as easy as going right, 80a duro is the one for me.
Also you can get harder than 100a (101 doesnt exist) you just use the D scale instead of the A scale.
That said, Powell snakes 66mm are brillant wheels, thought I would get white or green. In that order. It might say 75a, but they dont feel like it. They feel more like 80 a. I have a set of the earlier 82a ones, they feel like a 90a wheel. But are much faster and smoother over rough surface.

I have 58mm 87a wheels that came with my cruiser, but they’re big enough that I feel I need risers, too hard so they’re loud, but too soft to practice reverts and stuff, and too small to roll fast. I also bought an old Landyachtz Dinghy, which came with wide 63mm 78a wheels. Really happy with that one, but no way I’m gonna use it to learn tricks. The wheels are too wide to put on my cruiser board though, I’ve caught my heel on them a few times =P
Picked up a mint UDO Super 6 (DT) for £1350, which I thought was a good deal. I had a few USB connection issues at first but that’s all sorted. My aim is to strip back a few things, and get a more streamlined workflow. Looking forward to getting my head into it. I’ve been after one of these since the day they came out.

Hard wheels are perfect for powersliding down hills, try doing that in softer wheels. Literally did that last week and lost a whole chunk of wheel in the process …
Happy to.
Been sliding on soft wheels for decades.
Not my vid, but thats an 82a wheel.
They’re putting their hands on the ground that’s cheating !
75a

Folks, no doubt you are aware there is a skateboarding topic , probably best to continue this evolving conversation there …
also probably more relevant to post future (skateboarding related) latest purchases there too … ta

I did too since 84 to 96. And ya, black DOES do shit to the urethane…it makes it softer. White is hardest.
So if you want SOFT, go black. Just don’t expect them to last as long. I LOVED black cross-bones. Best wheels of all time.
101a does exist [at least graphically 
]
Powell is actually claiming 103 and 104a
@chuchu I always preferred 90-95a for hill sliding. Cross Bones blue. Good all round wheel
