whats the go with ricta cloud 92As, i want some 52s for a cruiser im putting together and with 55mm kryptonics the thing feels like a slug

[close]

I just bought some 72a ricta clouds in 52mm and they're great. They only sacrifice you make is powersliding but I'm starting to realize how much more I like soft wheels. I even like the sound better.

I have the 54mm 92a ricta's, and personally am not a huge fan—not what I was looking for. To me, they're not soft enough to get a nice and smooth cruiser ride. Have also been unsuccessfully trying to powerslide on them, but that's probably me sucking at it. I still use them regularly tho hahah. I also have 90a 53s C-cut mini logos that I really enjoy for cruising. Been thinking of getting a 55mm A-cut set of those, 54 Keyframes, or even 56 g-slides in the future. We'll see... not like i need new wheels.

Keyframes are amazing. I've got 54 mm ones on one of my cruisers and they're seriously the best cruiser wheels I've tried. Won't slide but that's just how it is. Got 60 mm 78A Ricta Clouds on another cruiser and those fuckers roll over anything pretty much but they're a bit big for my liking as I'm used to 54 mm wheels. Also using 1/8th inch risers with them. Spitfire 80HD cruiser wheels suck compared to Keyframes. Got a set of 54 mm ones on my rain cruiser and compared to the Keyframes, they're hard as fuck but still won't slide any better. With the Keyframes you're chillin' and with the Spitfires you're constantly pushing.

Keyframes sound like the best option for a cruiser wheel that isn't too big or wide. If you don't mind a chunkier wheel however, the Powell 85a 60mm Bombers actually slide pretty well, mine are at about 55-56mm now and no flatspots.

Have you ever tried Bones atf’s? I have those on my current cruiser and would like to know how keyframes are compared to those? Gonna build new cruiser for next summer and those keyframes got my attention...

I haven't. I've heard that they don't last though. Chipping and whatnot. The dude at Dylan's Trading told me that it's the only wheel he's gotten complaints from and has sent them back to get replacements, which they've honoured though. Heard from someone else too that they just don't last. I think it was the core separating from the wheel or something like that. Can't remember exactly. I was interested in trying them out to compare to my Keyframes but hearing all this made me not want to try them anymore.

fwiw i don't have trouble sliding my keyframes, especially after they wore in. much prefer them to my bones rough riders and oj super juices. although maybe there is a distinction to be made about a true slide versus reverts or quick scrubbing slides to slow down

I must have gotten good batch cuz my atf’s are atleast 8years old and I’ve beaten the shit out of them, they were originally 55/56mm (can’t even remember anymore 😄) and now somewhere around 50mm I guess...

It's funny, to us that's a cruiser. But to Nick Boserio that's his setup he actually goes out and gets clips on! That guy is a beast, with a strange penchant for soft wheels and atypical boards.

Spot on. Nick Boserio is 100% the reason I set this up the way I did.

78 A, It must be like rolling on pillows, I need this setup.

just found out they make 55mm super juice minis 

I like the softness of the hot juice 3 on my cruiser, but the square corners suck and chip to shit in a few sessions. no big deal but it takes the smoothness of the ride -- these super juice seem to be the perfect response to that with the rounded edges

Enjoying seeing some of the smaller cruiser setups here.

Recently found this old Habitat Raymond board in my mom's garage. I remember being so pumped on this board for how pointy it was. I decided to Frankenstein it into a cruiser and it is super fun.

I’d skate that board as my main. Damn that shape is sick. Had a wenning from that era that was maybe 7.4....anyways, that shit clean. I don’t skate particularly well, in general, and possibly less so on super small boards, but they are fun to look down at. I have a close friend who stopped skating for many many years. Came back to it a few years ago and was incensed he couldn’t find any 7.5s. He found one eventually and set it up with 129s and 56s. Which he insists is how we rode them back in the day. Tall and tippy.
