Comments: I am a big guy at 245 lbs. and I wanted a hard wheel for wood floors that would hold up. These wheels are so smooth and only took about 30 minutes to break in for safe skating. I referee derby and I need to grip the floor and be stable. Finally some wheels that work! It's like back in the old days on FanJets and the like, these wheels are beautiful! I have the white 97A.

Comments: No doubt that it is a fantastic wheel.... But you know these are meant only for slippery tracks which actually are rare. The wheels drain your stamina and are meant only for skating for shorter periods. If you are taking part in a competition, don't be fool to use them for longer races. It's best wheel for short races. My rating is 4.5/5

Comments: I am new to derby and have tried all sorts of wheels. These are by far the best I've tried! I can stop on a dime and feel super confident and comfortable with them!

Comments: Love them but first time on them the print came off the wheels so they look bad up close love the way they stick
