Would appreciate recs for soft wheels around this size/width that are slideable if that exists.

keyframes. mine slid very easily once broken in.

or if you really can't jive with keyframes, you could try OJ's 'in crust we trust' 92a.

Hmm I see, I don't think I'd want to go any harder than keyframes for the cruiser, so hopefully these will start to break in soon. How long did it take for yours to get to that point?

56mm wheels with no risers? or does the width of the trucks make up for that?

I don't skate wiggly loose trucks, probably a solid medium. Have done closer to 60 and it's been fine for me. I do wax the wheelbite area just for peace of mind though. But in this case, the wheelbite marks are on the very edge of the deck (not completely on), so I imagine the wheelbite isn't as gnarly.

What are the sizes of your things, my dude?

Ive placed a link instead of uploading images so i can show a devent size

Sorry I was asking, in a really terrible way, what size trucks and wheels you had on that guy. I thought about picking up a Bowie board and it never happened but if I did I also woulda set it up.

sorry for the late reply, I just saw this. I have 60mm F4 classic Spitfire 99Duro and Indy Stage 11 Polished Standard. I’ve rode my setup a few times now and I like it. It’s odd though because I’ve been riding my 53 Spitfire conical full which are down to 49mm rn so it’s odd haha.

I wonder if I should have gotten smaller wheels. Other than that I am happy.

I’m curious about this too, I’ve been skating my keyframes daily few weeks now and I can break ’em for some quick speedchecks but no way proper powerslides, never managed to break under 90d wheels to powerslide actually so maybe it’s just me🤔

Most soft wheels I've tried don't slide for shit. However I've had two sets of Powell Bombers 85a on previous cruisers that slide extremely well, not too much more effort than a hard wheel. I'd get those again, or try the g-slides, but I want a wheel with a slimmer profile for the zip zinger. It's definitely possible to make a soft wheel that slides well, but it seems that most manufacturers haven't figured it out, and the ones that have don't make them in a variety of shapes.

The g-slides urethane in a keyframe profile would be stellar.

Thanks for the reply! I have a Dane1 set-up that's pretty similar in shape that I don't ride much because it's pretty big lol. I thought I'd be psyched to get a taste of how it used to be but mostly I just think it's harder to ollie. I started out with Ace 66s and 56mms wheels trying to keep it period but found that too heavy and put some 54mms and hollow Indy 169s on it. It's lighter but there's still a lot of skateboard there. I'm gonna take it out tomorrow though because it's pretty fun to ride around on.

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

I’m not a fan of longboards but my only cruiser is a Brad Edwards Gravity model with 159’s and some Gravity wheels Brad gave me before he died.  Miss that dude so much.  Cried my ass off the day I set it up.

[SirPizzaSlayer]

unfortunately I can't upload photos but I have a Jeff Grosso AH 9.25 board with 159 indy standards and 58mm Spitfire conical fulls. I like how it rides but I need risers so I can turn better.

maybe a month, month and a half.

other than being softer, how do 80hd's compare to keyframes?

[tangar]

The 80hds feel like the super soft OJ juices. Bouncy, roll over anything and make ollies feel awkward. Key frames and Bones rough riders are soft enough to roll over most stuff without a problem, but you can still ollie and do some tricks without that wonky pop, in my experience.

[Turtle Boy]

I want to build a cruiser and was thinking about buying the classic 5boro in 8.0




Do you guys know who manufactures it?

[Roisto]

They're fucking terrible. If you mean the Spitfire 80HDs. I have those and Keyframes in 54 mm both with a conical shape and have compared them side to side many times. The Spitfires are much harder than the Keyframes but still not hard enough to actually slide. They're the worst of both worlds. I can't see any reason at all for getting them.

Setup looks so rad what wheels are you running?

Not sure if I posted mine in here, but I’m riding the 7.75 version of this as a cruiser. Love the size and shape however The wood is not the best on the one I got. Plys are delaming and cracking. I’ve been skating 5B boards for the last couple years and never had much of an issue.

One of the funniest set ups I’ve ever had and I was fool for not trying Ace for all these years. Turn quick like a thunder but are super stable even hella loose. And they have some of if not the highest quality bushings I’ve ever felt.

Super juice minis are the best.. i was just looking at getting another set but ain’t nothing wrong
With the ones I’m still using..

How would u even know with these sorta wheels its pretty hard to flat spot and they dont seem to chip??

So far they seem pretty damn good.

Here's my hammers cruiser. had this deck hanging on the wall for like 4 years. i was looking at it recently and the shape was too sick not to skate



Hammers USA 8.25" x 31.5"
Indy 149 / 92a conical bushings
Flip FKD bearings
Acid Chemical Co. Pods 55mm 86a conical shape

Haha. Thanks. I love this thing so much. Definitely my favorite shape for a cruiser compared to bigger decks.


Also, can you post a top shot of that hammers board?

[HHH]

I live in an area with rough asphalt and brick floors.

Anybody has experience with cruiser wheels for rough (er) surfaces? Currently trying to choose between 60mm oj's or 65mm duster wheels, both 78a, will probably get the dusters tho

60 mm 78A Ricta Clouds are great. Wide and soft. Will roll over anything. I live in a city with asphalt so rough, you might mistake it for a potato field.

Here’s the top of the hammers board
