these look pretty interesting! I might pick up a set one day

they used to be 20 quid when they first came onto ebay like months ago....now they are almost half the price which is a bonus

you guys do know its a bunch of chinamen that dont care about fingerboards, right?

There good. I bought 2 pairs and like there like Oak wheels when you powerslide it sounds like a skateboard, the color is still there after 6 months

pacific I dont think your thinking of the same wheels, they are nothing like oaks, they are plastic

And you know we don't have enough money to care, right? XD haha no, I kid, I have 3 sets of decent wheels from decent companies, but, they'd be a good piss around set for outdoor if they're cheap. No point buying a set of substance or something and then ruining them, it'd be a shame to kill beautiful wheels like that.

I think he means just the noise is similar, but winkers + substance + some flatface ones make that noise too

Wait, these wheels are plastic?

aren't all fingerboard wheels plastic?

You're confusing me haha. What about flatface and stuff? I thought they were urethane, unless that's plastic?

as far as I remember gcse chemistry (going back to when I was 15, haha..), they're all made from the same basic compounds and yea, they're the same category of materials, in some sense. Urethane is only used in one flatface wheel, the cowart model, right? Oaks + closeup use it though. But, yea, stuff like teflon, all the other materials, are all plastics, in some sense, as far as I'm aware. Plastic, is a very large group of materials.

haha im doing chemistry right now alkanes + alkenes
yeah all plastics are made up of monemers, C2H4 then they are added together to get different plastics (polymers) , example:
C2H4 is ethene, C4H8 is butene, and so on

so all wheels are made of plastic pretty much, apart from metal wheels

i have these they feel like oaks but they are lathed

Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up guys.

so you got them tim?

yup yup sending your tomorrow

+1 me on reference list homey

Alkanes + alkenes! Yea, those were what I forgot the name of me, now I remember it a bit more, haha
Wonder if you'll get an A*A* in science like me? ^_^

haha hopefully I can do chemistry and physics no problem, its biology I struggle with

Im bad at biology too lol the other two are okay but i dont think ill get A* lol

ive seen these wheels before they look good but i think there like close up bearing wheels

I've got an A level in biology, its a fascinating science.. although the hardest one I think : o

Are closeup bearing wheels bad then will?

look at danny with all the scientific words and that lol ,,,

I just got in an order of these wheels from china you guys are talking about,they look pretty nice the wheels are similar to TD and the bearings are the same as everybody else. IDK

I just got my wides from this seller today!
they're really nice and 7 sets for £13!
they come with these sick wheels(no bearings) that are way better than techdeck they have flatspots though but are really good. It came with a tool and screws and nuts

Eh? That doesn't sound logical..
