Question 1

Anyone compare the 77a vs. 80a on bumpy roads/parking lots? my db has cloud ride 78a.  new deck debating between the 77a and the 80a. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Ok so I have directly compared the blue 77a 4Pres against the yellow 86a stimulus wheels. Riding in a new neighborhood with construction being done in it so it’s rocky, dusty, gravel, just a mix; AND I’m riding in the Texas heat. Blue wheels will bounce off of a lot of rubble and with the added grip it slides perfectly with decent speed and a little dust, but it can grip too much sometimes if you don’t go 100% on your slide. As for durability it is totally shredding up fast, the edges are almost completely round and the skin is gone after about a week, so am considering going up to an orange 80a for that reason. Brand new they are literal clouds that stick to the road.

Question 2

Can this fit my penny board 27 inch board ? board

Accepted Answer

Probably, but they will be big for that board and limit your turning due to their size. I would recommend checking out Orangatang Fat Free instead. These are 65mm and will fit better.

Thanks,
David

Question 3

The original wheels on my board are 50mm wide, so would these fit my board being 3mm longer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they will fit as long as the diameter of the wheel isn't so great as to cause wheel bite on your board. Also, these have an off-set hub instead of a center hub so the create a little wider footprint from the outside edge of one wheel to the outside edge of the opposite wheel. This gives a little added stability.

Question 4

Can i use them in a sector nine longboard that has 74mm wheels??

Accepted Answer

Hi Martina, Thank you for your interest with Orangatang Wheels. Yes, these will work with your Sector 9. Smaller wheels (70mm < 74mm) will always work, we just don't recommend going bigger than 74mm because the wheels can hit the deck when turning. Please feel free to contact us with any other questions or concerns. Thanks, David
