well if they make you go faster then they arent useless are they? ;)

i dont use them, just have reds and spacers, and that works awesome tightened all the way up...

wow, some seriously wrong advice in this thread.

guys, get with the program, orangatang thane chatters, because they're a grippy wheel,made for slalom etc. all they did is what start out with the 80a, then made other wheels at harder durometers, still the same urethane, if your a heavier boy they start out chatery into a smoother slide. go abec 11 classic thane, might not last you aslong but deffs buttery smooth.

basically it all comes down to technique. sure all wheels have different characteristics when it comes to sliding, but ANY wheel will give you a chatterless slide if you know how to work them. speed plays a huge role and if your getting chatter at slow speeds, its because you are going too slow to shred any of that thane. thats what a chatterless slide is, shredding thane on the road.

and chris, otangs aren't made for slalom. never were. they were made to grip when needed and slide when needed and they do so VERY well. since the original inheats, they have changed the design in many different ways. what you obviously don't know is the size and shape of the core in a wheel is what gives a wheel its character. otang have been perfecting that side of their design for many years. they are tested and designed by LA's top skaters and are poured with quality thane. if you can't get otangs to slide well, then your doing it wrong.
