Title: Cruiser set-up wheels?
Post by: Kab on May 31, 2011, 08:27:48 PM: After I start getting some paychecks this summer I want to get a cruise board together. I've already got the deck and trucks I want in mind, but I'm not sure about wheels. I want some big ole softies, 60mm + and nice and soft. Any recommendations?

I'm running the 58s right now. They felt a little bouncy at first but I'm loving them now.

FWIW, I've owned multiple sets of Zip Zingers.. first set chunked out, and on the 2nd set the outside of the wheel completely separated from the core on a flat backside ollie. They were nice enough to send along a replacement set, though. Ricta Clouds on the way, I'll be happy to answer any questions no one asked as soon as I get them.

Spitfire 92 Softers if you want something a little softer than a normal wheel but not straight-up bouncy ball.

Post by: friendly dave on June 06, 2011, 11:51:33 AM: I think technically they're just a roller skate company now, but I've been rocking sure-grips on my cruiser for a few years now, and they are by far the best cruiser wheels I've ever had.

Post by: marginal way on June 06, 2011, 12:12:05 PM: go to the thrift store and buy a pair of rollerskates. then you get 2 sets of softies for cheap.
