Title: Spitfire 80HD Review
Post by: Frank and Fred on May 25, 2024, 09:37:07 PM
I'm going to become a Youtube reviewer. Huffer, 56mm 80HD, AF1 66s, SKF bearings. Empty road at the western most point on the lower 48.

My reviews are wordless. Just the hum of 'thane on the open road.

I only realized a few months ago 80HD is ADHD. I have the Krooked 80a Zip-Zinger wheels, I wonder if they’re the same formula?

They are both 80 duro, so could be.  The Krooked board I had a roll on felt a little different, but that could be more the shape of the wheels than anything else.

The older Spitfire 80 duro wheels seemed to mush out a whole lot if you carved hard and I had seen more than one wheel in pieces, the outer tearing away from the inner core, so I think that is why they re did them, making them better now.


They were still a good softer wheel for normal skating or just getting from A to B on a regular board you can pop up a curb as needed, especially in the wider shaped 80 duro wheels.  I had Classics, Conical Full, Classic Full and some other ones from 54 to 58 mm size.

I have an older set of these 80HD chargers, those without a plastic core. 56mm with the red spitfire logo. I like them a lot for crusing and filming. Then I saw these grey Gonz 80HDs with the flowers on them, they look awesome. Is there any difference between the older ones and the Gonz' wheels?
