| Sup guys, I've had this set of three dual bearing wheels for some time now, but never discovered what they actually are? I suspected that they were V6's, because they're white and use un-shielded dual bearings, but after comparing them to Ross' V6's at Kerrys I realised that they're much smaller than V6's. I was told at first that they're G7's, but G7's use shielded bearings so that pretty much rules these out? The only other think I can think of is No Comply V4's? They seem too different IIRC though. Here's some pics, I compared them to; No Comply Mini's, China Wheels, G7.1 Brandons, G6O's, G6D Oranges, G4 Purples, The mysterious Wheel. (In that order, Left to right. Always.) Thanks to anyone who could help me out, if anyone needs any closer pics of any wheels, let me know! |

| Ask Todd, Jerome and Mike.
Often people can recognize what they have made/designed.

| if i seem to remember correctly (was a long time ago) we compared them to all sorts and i even bit them and tested the material of them? my guess would be something obscure, nollie etc? they have unshielded bearings too but i really dont know.

| They seem quite slim. Do you know where you got it? |

| Could be that they have lost their shields.. Or the bearings have been changed. |

Yeah, I'm trying to buy the 4th wheel, since a set of three is rather pointless. - Mikkel S wrote:

Yeah, it's weird though since all 6 of the bearings have no shields, and they don't look like they've had shields in, the balls look too big? |

i do vaguely remember though....haven't a clue was my instinct... They might have been Eddies? I know that you and Eddie were having a look at them though, in the morning after crossed fingers in Kerry's living room! And yeah I had them at Cyclone too, haha, I've had them for a few years now! |
