THAT’S ONE SPICY SALCHICHA. There comes a time in every skater’s life when the light and airy appetizers just don’t satisfy—when the magnitude of their downhill culinary endeavors breaks out of its shell and demands a protein source that is heartier, chunkier, and more gnar-filled... perhaps even coagulatory in character. * B Stock B Stock: First-quality product with slight cosmetic blemishes. May not look the prettiest but still rides just fine. wheels available at 25% OFF while supplies last! LONGBOARD WHEEL SPECS Diameter: Diameter: Wheel height. Smaller wheels accelerate quicker. Taller wheels roll more easily over rough, uneven surfaces and have a higher top speed. 72.5mm Width: Width: Width measured at the widest part of the wheel. 44mm Contact Patch: Contact Patch: Width of the portion of the wheel in contact with the ground. Wider contact patches offer greater traction. Narrower contact patches slide more easily. 35mm Style: Style: Sharp lips offer maximum traction and are ideal for carving, pumping, downhill, and slalom riding. Rounded lips slide more smoothly and are ideal for freeride and freestyle. Rounded lips also help wheels pass more smoothly across pavement cracks when commuting. Stone-ground wheels slide more easily even when brand new. Wheels with surface skin retain maximum traction. Rounded lips with stone-ground surface Bearing Seat: Bearing seat: Position of the wheel core where bearings are installed. Centerset wheels can be “flipped” (mounted in either orientation) to promote more even wear over time and tend to narrow the board’s footprint. Offset wheels allow more freedom for the outer lip to deform and grip the road and tend to widen the board’s footprint. Centerset Formula: Formula: The urethane formula used to pour the wheel. Orangatang offers four proprietary wheel formulas: Happy Thane (smooth, fast, high traction, buttery slides), Peachy Thane (balanced traction, high durability), Euphorethane (long slides, exceptional durability), and Perky Thane (smooth and durable for park and pool skating). Euphorethane Core: high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane Weight (per wheel): 5.6 oz / 160 g Durometers: Durometer: Measure of wheel hardness. Softer wheels (77a-80a and lower) offer more traction and roll smoother and faster over rough surfaces. Harder wheels (83a-86a and higher) slide more easily, offer greater durability, and roll faster over smooth surfaces. 80a, 83a, 86a What's in the box? Purchase price includes set of 4 wheels.
