| List of wheels you should buy, from my own and others expieriences:
Oak wheels if you like grippy wheels NoCo wheels if you want cheap and smooth wheels Flatface has ALL kinds of wheels, for a bit of a premium Close up wheels for the great price and they're very soft
More but these are the ones I can think of from the top of my head.

BW new classic flaked lowpro family
What should i buy? you guys decide because i can't FLAKED! BW new shape has great pop... but to me the shape is weird, low on one side, and one side is alot longer I know that it's purposeful, but still. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now a question from me: How soft are oaks? What are the softest wheels you guys can think of that perform well? I just wanna try something new, because my wheels so far have been floaty when you ride and hard. ( winklers, flatface) which is good, but I wanna try something new. |

| From what I've heard the oaks have a bumpy feeling kinda to them because of the urethane. It sounds like you should buy a pair cause honestly there aren't many other reliable wheels that match what you're looking to try! |

Xi, are CloseUp wheels alright? I need a cheap set of wheels for my outdoor setup. Honestly, they're my favourite wheels out of all that I've tried. Since they're urethane, they're great indoors and outdoors. Check this thread to read my review: https://fingerboardhq.darkbb.com/t4660-close-up-bearing-wheels-review-requested-by-rafiYou also get a free pair of Close Up G4 hangers, the version especially designed for bearing wheels, when you buy a set of Close Up bearing wheels and probably other extras too. |

| ^^^Still proud to be Xi's signature.
Question:
I have bushings and they're nice and all but either
1. They're medium-hard 2. They're thick
Because I barely put on the nut on my TD Wides and they're already squished like hell and tight.
Any way to make it loose without breaking it? |

| I don't think there's much you can do about that. ^ Super glue some threads on the nut then screw the tip on, and it should hold nicely though.
