Buying Grippy wheels

Just bought a timeline and i want some grippy wheels for it. Bearings are cool too if you have them.

Looking at the 70mm range, something real nice and fat.

I'm going to be using them for pumping, carving and commuting around suburbia.

I'm also open to suggestions as to what people think would be the best for this kind of thing aswell. So even if your not selling any tell me what you think would go down sweet.

Thanks.

listen to Robbo, he is the expert

70mm Lime ZigZags, nothing grips more. O'tangs are not made for pure grip and so don't grip anywhere near as hard as a zigzags. Forget pavedwave they do long distance, slalom is what your after. A discipline that relay purely on grip and nothing is more used in the international and domestic slalom scene as zigzags. If you have ever seen jacko at a slaom race you will note he always uses zigzags even though he is sponsored by O'tang. No other wheel really competes for core rail grip

aha yeah i was hoping someone like him would share expertise :)

i was reading the fish' thread on canniballs and they sound like they grip more than bigzigs though. Only downside is they have a contact patch 7mm bigger than a zigzag and are 2mm larger so acceleration would be worse

hahaha well that makes the decision an easier one.. perhaps not a better one though :P

Yeah i know they are fast, they're being repeatedly tipped as the race wheel of the year. We all know the fish has a rather impressive hype machine function but these things really do look quite legit.

If i was looking for new wheels for my killswitch these would probably be my first pic but because im not going to be wanting to go any more than 20 or 30k's on them i just want something that will accelerate well as well as hold speed and roll over any imperfections i encounter :)
