I think I have a psychological attachment to 80A. It's a round number, and makes any 70-something duro sound too soft, and any >80 duro sound too hard. It's a stupid way to decide which wheel to use, but I'm lazy...

Oh, but I use 98A in bowls. And I sometimes use 83A or 86A on the front wheels for slalom.

i have a bunch of wheels lik kooky. i ride 77a to 84a. if your looking for an alllround: wheel with rounded lips like strikers and krytos 78a to 80a and wheels like tangs and gumballs etc with lips 80 to 82a would be a good allrounder wheels. hope that helps

I range from 75a 78mm Blast Waves, to 88a Strikers. It all depends on what board and riding style.

85/75 cortech on my slalom board
78/75 gumballs on my evo. (2nd hand won't run it split duro when I replace them, thinking 80-85)
86a on my cpr. (old 66mm krypgrip, drifts ok)
SergioSliders (99a I would assume)

been givin the orangatangs a good go lately 75mm 80a s they seem to slide and grip well want to compare them against the zigs but dont want to cone them out as the zigs work great as a slalom wheel.+ orangotangs are cheaper

Speed vents 77mm 79a
Coretech 75mm 85a

Zig zags 70mm 83 F 80a R , Slalom same duro's in 66mm
65mm Rainskates 85a, 100a

82a 76mm Superballs
75a 70mm Grippins
78a 70mm Grippins
78a 75mm Pink Zigs
75a Fly wheels in 76mm and 85mm

Most of those wheels i got back when i thought it was all bout the softys.
Now i wouldnt ride anything under a 82a. Really want a set of those blood orange Big Zigs.
