Making 97a classics in 53mm now... not much different than the 54mm we already have
Yeah, I hadn't even checked Instagram today.
But it is amazing how many people don't want to ride 54mm or bigger when it comes to wheels.
I know lots of people are strictly 52mm, but will ride 53 if they have to, also saying 54 are just too big and wide and whatever else. I think it is all down to personal preference and a lot of people (pro and normal alike) ride slightly smaller wheels on their regular board, so it was a "popular demand" option, same as lots of people wanted the 97 duro in conical full, which they have done.
I would be stoked to get classic 56mm and once they wear down to about 52 or so it is perfect, but that is just me.
