"well if your going down a really long and straight fast hill the roll speed from the larger diameter flywheels would account for a higher top-speed, so in THEORY the 90mm flys would 'out-roll' the gumballs, but that would be only in the…"

Ash replied to Altus Vorster's discussion 'Abec 11 gumballs'"gumballs used to be a pretty common wheel, but not so much anymore, the newer "slalom" style wheel shapes offer a much better all round performance. I would recommend you Grab yourself some classic thane bigzigs instead mate"

- The racer is in good condition. The nose has some blemishes cause my fried propped it up in a garage on its nose (face palm). The tail shows general wear from propping it up. It has never taken a hit. The graphic is worn from riding in the wet but the bottom has no scratches. The nose guard is a custom by Col (home grown) made of alum (steel is just too heavy). The holes on the nose guard are a bit shonky as the guard comes undrilled...but it fits. Selling it cause well I got an isis and haven't even looked at the Earthwing since. Looking for 135 + shipping. Will get pics to you soon.
