| they are both dual bearing........go figure  im not really sure, but from pics ive seen it looks as though the v6 dont use sheilded bearings....this means they would get grit in them quicker than the g7s... ...i may be wrong though? |

| pretty sure thats right. NC bring cheaper wheels by not using shielded bearings. BUT not only will they still last super fine, unless you fb through a beach or something, but if they blow todd (in every case I've ever heard of) either send new bearings or replace the wheel. hes 110% legit, and the wheels are all lush |

| i think if i was gonna buy a new set of wheels id probably go for the v6s over ff g7/1s....not only are they cheaper, (alot cheaper), like kerry says, todd who owns nocomply is super nice and if the wheels ever did have a problem, he would sort it out...g7s are mighty fine...i guess its all down to which you prefer......but im sure they are both just as smooth as each other |
