New schtrop - bagged it off Craigslist. Who in their right mind would part with a fuzzy snow leopard print guitar schtrop?!!!

I want 50-45mm 80a but i donāt they make smaller wheels soft anymore.
Bones filmers go down to 54mm 80a.
Krooked zip zingers also.
If you hunt flea bay you might find old 70s pre 608 bearing wheels. Those were 45mm diameter, very wide and very soft.
Iām loyal to Powell 
Since day one 
Itās fantastic! I got both vinyl and CD versions.

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. Theyāre so LOUD and slow Iām 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 cruisinā 80a. They arenāt 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 theyāre big enough that I feel I need risers, too hard so theyāre 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 Iām gonna use it to learn tricks. The wheels are too wide to put on my cruiser board though, Iāve caught my heel on them a few times =P
Picked up a mint UDO Super 6 (DT) for Ā£1350, which I thought was a good deal. I had a few USB connection issues at first but thatās 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. Iāve 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 ā¦
