i had a vault 40 dropthrough which had 78a and began to learn how to slide. first day alright second day a bit chattery third day back right whell exploded and still to this day i have never found a single bit of it all that was left was the hub and the bearings. i now have orange inheats and am waiting for my knew board from daddow. 78's a shit anything below 80a usually is however they do makle good rain wheels with grooves.

not sure about 80a but the vault 83a are horrible in my experience. Slippery without any traction once broken in....maybe someone's cup of tea but not mine.

I tried a friends vault wheels and they seemed far from legendary. In the duro specified too.  Maybe the same compound but a different mix?

yeah, i too have 83a black vault wheels and they are terrible. The transition between grip and slip is unpredictable and theyre icy as hell. However, i have okay experiences with the 78a's, ive got 76mm 78a (translucent) wheels on my spindrift (cored the mega tsunamis) and theyre okay, especially for that price.

I question the quality of the nylon pucks they're using. I've never heard of other gloves with nylon pucks, but Vault obviously finds it a great idea. Go figure.
