Previous Feedback
Comments: Love these wheels! Bought them as a heavier skater (~225lb) because I heard that aluminum hubs were a good idea, and I was very pleased with them. No flex at all, which was lovely. I used the 95A's on sport court and they were perfect!
The only downside was that it was very difficult to get bearings in and out; my handheld bearing puller didn't work at all. I ended up buying a tabletop bearing press to use with these wheels.

Comments: I absolutely LOVE these wheels! I was scared to upgrade to a 95 from my 90s...but they are wonderful! Even though they are harder, they are still super grippy, but not in a way that hinders performance. I feel like I have so much more control now. We skate on a sport court that is usually very slick and these work great on it!

Comments: These are my first aluminum hubbed wheels I have ever skated on and they are fantastic! I love the grip of the 89s, they work great on the dirty old wood floors we skate on, slick concrete, and are still great for an all purpose wheel for 'grippier' surfaces. If you're a little heavier of a skater, and are looking to upgrade to a aluminum hub, look no further, these are the wheels for you! No more soft plastic hubs that oval out under weight, and no more coning on your wheels! Be prepared for your bearings to be either a little tight and hard to insert and remove, or a little loose and they fall out when you remove the wheels. Aluminum hubs are a little different that way and are fine and not damaged, best to use a bearing press if they don't go right in!
