Why You NEED Wider Wheels

[@LeonPaxton]

What’s your perfect wheel size?

[@jcsk8]

52

[@Tormentor100]

52 or 53 works form me

[@NashLeith]

54

[@toneloke454]

52mm classic shape, there’s nothin better

[@DrRhomboid_Goatcabin]

50. 52 is the biggest i'll go.

[@toneloke454]

Man, Fos should just give you a guest Board with all the free advertising he’s getting from your channel. Great work man!

[@LeonPaxton]

Dude, that would be a dream, come true! I doubt that would ever happen though 😂 Thanks heaps though man!

[@MallGrabtheClown]

I have the 99a 53mm on both my 10"curb killer which are perfect and an 8.5" which look giant. As a child of the 80s it's weird that I now like tiny wheels and whenever I put big wheels on, it looks ridiculous to me. I do love that these protect your axle nuts.

[@LeonPaxton]

I can imagine how big they’d look on an 8.5” 😂 That’s definitely a massive benefit!

[@benitofranklyn4237]

I started off in the 80's as well, with big soft wheels. I actually switched back to 56mm 80a's, it is so much more enjoyable to ride around on the streets when you have bigger, softer wheels. I feel like just riding around on your skateboard has gotten lost with small, hard wheels.

[@MallGrabtheClown]

@@benitofranklyn4237there is no street skating anymore... there is walking your board to the skate park or walking your board to the street spot to "street" skate.

[@MallGrabtheClown]

@@benitofranklyn4237 No one street skates anymore... I see the kids walking their boards along the sidewalk to the park or the spot to "street skate" ...

[@benitofranklyn4237]

​@@MallGrabtheClown I've seen this too. Such a sad sight. A big part of the fun of skating as kids always was riding through the city, down your local street, going to the store, shop, spot etc. I sometimes pass the local youths carrying their decks when I'm riding to the park. Later they ask me about my wheels or my two decks and they would enjoy cruising around too, but they don't have the money for a 2nd set-up and it's just too tedious when you get stopped by every crack or pebble.

[@benitofranklyn4237]

My tip is to get bigger and especially softer, wheels, somewhere, between 55-60mm and 78-85a, to cruise around. It makes so much more fun just riding your skateboard through the city. You can still have your small, hard wheels on your park set up, but going to the park, the store or any where else is so much more enjoyable. You will also be able to hit crusty street spots, which seemed unsuitable before.

[@LeonPaxton]

Definitely agree!

[@benitofranklyn4237]

@@LeonPaxton Nobody just rides around anymore. I see kids carrying their board through the city. Such a sad sight. I know it's because with small, hard wheels it's uncomfortable and slow and every pebble or crack stops you.

[@Steph_7d7]

Good old vintage toxic top secrets are my favorite wheels, been riding the same pair on one of my decks since 89. Highly recommend for those of you with a delorean time machine.

[@bumrodgers]

Stoked you tried these! I have the lil wide boys which are fun, but not really a good every day wheel. I think after this review I'm going to try whatever is closest to a 52/53 in the wide boys. I might see if it can find someone with a lathe to trim the inside edge. Make it more like a nanocubic.

[@benitofranklyn4237]

​@@johndoeyedoe I'm over 40 as well and started skating a few years ago again. I made two set-ups, one with hard wheels for the park and one for the streets with big, soft wheels like back in the 80's. It's so much more enjoyable to ride around in the streets and saves the joints.

[@diplenski]

I’ve always liked wider wheels, 35-40mm is the sweet spot. They roll smoother and protect axle nuts from damage. I think 97 duro is perfect all-around

[@boardbuslife]

Agreed, I've been diggin the Bones MiniCubic lately, found at an old skool shop

[@banshee1322]

I skate 99a Spitfire OG 54mm wheels. Used to longboard before skating so binging hills is so much better with the wider wheels. 23mm riding surface and 32 width

[@8ByteBrian]

I generally love wider wheels, just smaller & softer. Used to skate Powell Peralta G-Slides 85A, whic are the bare minimum I can take in softness skating street. For me 90A-95A is perfect softness, right skating 93A Dragon Wheels, & they are awesome, but could be a bit wider, just still conical. That way you get all the benefits, hybrid, wide for transition, conical shape is great for locking in grinds too.

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah these ones are a bit extreme lol The Dragons are pretty good actually! Have you seen the Nano Rats that they just released?

[@noicantswitchflip]

spitfire has the 93a sliders in a more conical shape

[@samuraijak6605]

Come for the content, stay for the session vibes.

[@LeonPaxton]

Thanks man!

[@kc_jones_gaming]

I’m a firm believer in finding the perfect wheel for every situation. Risers and longboard beasts for the cruiser, hard wheels like spitfires for street, soft wheels for slick parks. I haven’t landed on a preferred soft wheel brand, as I was usually in the street with spitfires

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah dude, it just depends what you want out of your wheels

[@gunfun7772]

I skated the boardycakes drip drops for fun and realized I really liked them. The problem was that my trucks were so low to the ground that they touched the white bumps (for blind people) on my favorite spot. So I got Spitfire tablets in 52mm. They're still skinny but with some more height to it. Riding an 8.6 with 8.5 trucks my balance point for grinds is already pushed inward in the deck. So the skinny wheels bring that balance point as close to the deck's edge as possible. I'm not the best skater, but I started getting back at skating yesterday and noticed how I got away with so many wild 5-0 grinds. Sometimes I was leaning back (heelside direction) so much that I was basically slowly falling but somehow managed to balance and grind the 5-0 and pull it back in the end. Felt crazy. I think if my balance point was further in I couldn't get away with some of the lands as either I would fall back or the heelside pressure would flip the board. So I'd recommend tablets if your deck is slightly larger than the truck width.

[@LeonPaxton]

I've got those wheels too and they're so sick! Only on smooth surfaces though 😂 That board sounds perfect actually! Tablets help lock in so well too 👌🏼

[@gunfun7772]

@@LeonPaxton Haha yeah, I remember the drip drops slipping out of locks because of their rounder profile so the square profile also seems beneficial for the smaller wheels. Love em.

[@swr410]

I’ve got the 99a 53mm ones. As a beginner/intermediate skater on an 8.25 deck, they definitely add a noticeable amount of weight to my setup. Part of this is good… landing tricks on these feels SOLID. But, yeah, the grip makes some things a bit hard, even just shuvs and 180s. They roll well on rough ground, but they don’t have the same rebound as formula four or bones X formula, so they don’t roll *that* well. I would love to try Spitfire new 97a or Bones X99 in a shape like this. The colors of these wide boys are really good, and these look sick on your board.

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah dude, they would definitely add a bit of weight! I really want to try those new wheels too! Pedro has a Radial shape coming out in the 97a Soft Slider formula 👌🏽

[@swr410]

@@LeonPaxton I’m definitely keen to try those at some point. For now, the main wheel I’m trying is Spitfire Classics FF 99a 54mm. I’ve actually been really pleasantly surprised with how well they roll over rough ground. Definitely not as smooth as softer wheels, but faster than I expected. They feel a bit higher-rebound than the snot wheels 99a, I think, and this helps them glide over streets and sidewalks, despite their narrowness. But yeah, I definitely want to see how the new 97a formula compares.

[@LeonPaxton]

Can'r go wrong with some Spitfire Classics 👌🏼 Yeah I can't actually wait to try them, I love the Radial shape too!

[@swr410]

@@LeonPaxton I tried some SF classics in my first months of skateboarding, a few years ago, and hated them. I much preferred cruiser wheels at that point. But now, even though I’m riding the same areas, I enjoy them. Funny how my perception of gear, etc, changes with time and capabilities. I also almost wonder if I somehow got a slightly more bouncy formula, in this batch. I have some FF 99a Tablets that don’t feel as smooth, which is weird, as they have a wider contact patch.

[@OtisStolzBucko]

a nice wide wheel is usually more comfy and stable so for just cruising i ride some vintage 92a 56mm wheels but they are just a little soft though

[@LeonPaxton]

Sounds perfect!

[@dudespikey]

I think really hard wheels are sticky and for skate-park setups. Spitfire 93a's slide a lot better on any surface than the 101a's do. I've got "99a" Road Crew wheels that are ludicrously hard & they're stickier than 85a Bones wheels. I think true 95a-97a is generally the sweet spot for powerslides.

[@DrRhomboid_Goatcabin]

Jeez you could also call this video, why skateparks are a nightmare nowadays..so many random kids just wandering around and the dopey parents with no spatial awareness who just saunter about totally oblivious to where they are. You must have the patience of a saint to deal with all that going on! great review though. I've yet to try these as I've been waiting on the smaller sizes in 99a to get to the U.K, i can't go back to bone shaking 101s again! haha. really love that Snot have done small sizes in these though, I'm a gen x skater so i still like small wheels but i really don't want huge wheels, and it seems most brands only do wider shapes in larger sizes. Definitely going to give the 50 or 52mm 99s a try.

[@LeonPaxton]

Hahaha yeah dude! I did go to the newest skatepark on a Sunday during school holidays though so I kind of knew what I was getting myself into but that's the only time I had to film that week lol Thanks man 🙏🏼 Haha yeah I would usually stay away from a 101a wheel but that formula balances these wheels out perfectly 👌🏼 That's true, I actually want to try some smaller wheels from Snot now after how good these have been!

[@kaosimian]

when it comes to riding on rougher ground, does the extra width compensate for the harder duro?

[@noicantswitchflip]

not too much, but it feels a bit better than a thin wheel. If you go from skating a 35 mm wide wheel to these, its not too much of a difference. Anything that's thinner might feel a bit weird.

[@LeonPaxton]

It definitely does for me but in my opinion these wheels feel closer to a F4 99 duro so the bigger and wider wheel is either helping and making it feel more smooth or it’s not a true 101a

[@maleldil9539]

it looks like these wheels don't cover much of your hangar. is that the wheel shape or did you put washers on the inside of the axle to push them out?

[@LeonPaxton]

I used to use washers on the inside to push my wheels out but since skating hollow trucks I put my axle nut flush to the end of the axle to reduce it getting damaged and mushroomed. This kind of has the same effect since my wheel is able to be pushed out towards the axle nut creating more hanger space as I’m grinding. These wheels might not look like they come in that much because they are wide trucks so there’s still a lot of hanger space 🤔

That's why I like 52 mm Spitfire conicals in the park or the lock in full in 54 mm.

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah dude, it's getting so common too lol

The amount of people around gives me anxiety 😂

[@LeonPaxton]

My family for going to the newest skatepark on a school holiday weekend 😂

[@Rot_Dog666]

They feel more like freestyle wheels

[@_Maxten]

This is damn near a freestyle wheel

[@foulweather6625]

Wider wheels are more prone to wheel bite also.

[@LeonPaxton]

[@mikehemens9359]

I mostly skate park and skinny wheels are faster and make my board lighter.

There’s wide then there’s those

[@LeonPaxton]
