BE THE QUEEN OF YOUR LOCAL PARK. Tired of the swings? Big kids won't let you on the slide? Be the queen (or king—we're not judging) of your local park. The Orangatang Onsen park wheels continue to blend the boundaries of traditional skateboarding, park riding, and longboarding. 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. 58mm Width: Width: Width measured at the widest part of the wheel. 34mm 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. 19mm 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). Perky Thane Core: high-strength, heat-resistant, glass-free urethane Weight (per wheel): 2.8 oz / 79 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. 100a What's in the box? Purchase price includes set of 4 wheels.
