I'm sure this is somewhere in the thread, but it's 81 pages so I'm asking. What is a good wheel for dusty indoor bowls? I'm currently riding mini logo 55mm 101a and can't stop sliding out.

[close]

my slime ball 97a's are good for dusty concrete, so are my OJ Dressen 101's...but funnily enough my new OJ Nora 101's slide out a lot!

How are the Slime Ball 97a?  I wanna get some minis to have a wheel that can take some rough surfaces while still being a good skate wheel.

if you want to resemble a normal shaped street/skate wheel, then oj keyframe.

So ACID wheels. I love them, but they seem rarely discussed on here.

You guys need to try some ACID. I don't have any of the 99a or up duros, I'm an F4 loyalist there, but for those mid 80s ranges, the skaterades and pods are some of the best wheels I've ever skated.

I would love to but here is impossible to find them

Coming soon is a Mini Logo 95a formula that will be their A cut shape will be available in 52, 54 and 56.  I've been looking for something similar and MiniLogo wheels are generally around $20.  I'll pick some up when they come in.

Later this spring, Bones is going to have a new 95a as well.  A couple folks on the SkateOne boards used the prototypes and gave them rave reviews.  My guess is that they are a different formula than the MiniLogo ones.

I'd be down for some 95a wheels - I had a set of 95a OJs a few years go - was hoping for a cushier ride and some slide....didn't slide.

I wonder if they will slide well, I'm definitely getting them for my cruiser/transition board. Also can you find a link to that skate one thread? Can't find it

Put em on your back truck and power slide the fuck outta them

[satan]

Does anyone know what the difference between the slarve vomit minis and the regular vomit minis? Is there a difference? Been eying some slimeballs for a minute.

I've wondered that too. I think it's just the graphics and the name. Iirc, the heights, widths, and riding surfaces are the same.

Contact Deluxe and their customer service should sort you out.

When I was a kid, I rode Slime Balls and OJs and I swear to heck you could slide the shit out of them but they were soft. Like 87a?  Do those kind of wheels still exist?

it's my back toe wheel which is the one I usually slide, I got it by doing a very nice fs 180 and it squeaked like hell. I rolled around and felt it.

Do they replace them? I don't know if I fully want to get rid of them.

[sharkin]

take a good pic and send it to [email protected]

if it's serious, they'll probably hook it up with a new set

I think I'll just slide it out.

Damn what happened? He was always a really nice guy and did a great job at representing them with the outstanding warranty dept.

Does anyone have any experience with the OJ Boserio 97a 60mms? Not sure if theyre just gimicky or actually functional. They look fun for everything except maybe ledges because theyre so wide.

Not the Boserio's, but I did have a chance to screw around on a setup with some Slimeballs which are the same duro/formula. They cut a little bit of roughness out of shitty ground, but still slide pretty easily. The ones I tried were the more classic/conical shape though, not the super wide 60's. Wish OJ would make some plain white 97a's in the 54mm range. All they have are those hideous Creature collab things.

Someone here ordered bunty cakes to Europe? Saw that it was possible now and I'm kinda tempted, but steep shipping at 12 dollars, the wheels are still cheap tho.

I recently decided to give bones another shot and I was pretty surprised by how much I like them. I picked up a set of STF 99s in the v4 wide shape and while I'd still say F4s are better overall the gap is smaller than I thought it would be. They're kind of soft feeling so they're really comfortable on rough east coast asphalt, and I assumed they wouldn't slide because of that but they do and do so well (albeit not as well as F4). They're also quite fast, very close with spits and maybe even better on some terrain. Its probably the honeymoon period but I think I might prefer them on crustier terrain. I like the v4 shape but I wish they had just a regular conical available.

Does anyone know if there's a difference between the "STF ninety-nine" and "easy street" 99a formulas?

I'm not EU but I would trust boardy to make sure that you get your wheels. That shipping is totally reasonable to me,  buying a set of wheels in my local shop is $36 so that's about the same. I definitely recommend that you do it.. They aren't going to replace your spitfires, but they're so much fun to mess around and do flat ground tricks on.

Im also curious about this. I want to give bones a shot. I had some along time ago and weirdly liked them a lot

the easy streets have "STF 99" printed on them.
I always assumed that "Easy Streets" were just a rebranding of the 99a differentiate them from the 83b wheels they're more known for. Like Spitfire F4's are more associated with the 99a and not the 101a. Bones definitely went with that natural color for the 99a's compete with spitfire. The whole point of Bones is that they were "BONE" white.

If they actually changed the formula I have not idea.

[GoneWithTheSchwinn]

Bones are toy garbage.

Thinking of trying either a set of Bones V1 or V3, looking to try a thinner wheel after trying having fun with Concials For sliding on ledges. I got some V5 on 55mm, think they may be too big, so either a 52 or 53mm

I just made the move from the v3 52mm(29mm wide) to the v3 54mm(30mm wide). I haven't skated the 54s yet because of weather. But I loved my time on the 52s. I think that the slim hard wheel takes to damage a little worse than say the v5's which I rode prior to the v3 move. I had some chips in the wheel, that did not affect performance. I tried 2  pairs of crupie, but they flat spotted before the graphic wore off. Spite fire slims are not slim just have a narrower contact patch. I think autobahn were slim but good luck finding them.

The idea I had was to set up some ventures, skinny board and 42 mm to flip around but imma w8 a while, the small wheels look so cool when they show the whole hanger and nuts that's what I like with them.

[MusclesMarinara]

Any recommendations on a slim and small 50-51mm wheel? Was checking out the obvious Bones V3s and SF4 radial slims, but didn't know if they're are any other better options like dial tones or anything like that?
