Bigger is Better

Hi Guys

This weekend i got hold off a new set of wheels for the distance board. The set-up of the board as it stands now is:
-LBL V1 pusher deck
-Dropthrough randall 180 trucks (standard bushings)
-Sesmic speedvents 85mm black ops wheels 79a
-bones swiss abec 7 bearings

The seismic speedvent wheels are such an improvement in both rolling ability and confidence levels. With a larger 85mm diameter, over the previously fitted lime big-zig 75mm wheels, the belly rubbing has stopped and rail bite on sharper turns has all but been eliminated. The 79a black ops urethane compound is better than anticipated allowing the further distances to be covered on momentum alone and plenty of grip during evasive manouvers and hard carving. Even on a hot day like saturday in the high 20's my 5mile commute to work seemed effortless. Previous spots and curbs that use to cause agro were slain by the seismics, leaving me free to worry about traffic and cyclists moving to slowly or what song i wanted to listen to next. The next test is going out and over the humber later in the week to see how it handles up and downhill, so watch this space.....

I purchased the wheels from www.octanesports.com , the level of customer service was excellent and a compromise was met when they only had one pair of old graphics and one pair of new graphics. So thanks very much guys at octansports. Be sure to check them out.
