Longboard Wheels 70mm x 42mm 82A Stone Ground Clear 4-Pack
SKU: LB937
Description
These wheels measure 70mm x 42mm with a firm yet smooth 82A hardness.
The urethane is poured around an offset core. The bearing core is shifted slightly toward the outside lip of the wheel. Because there’s more urethane on the inside edge, the wheel flexes and conforms to the road better when you lean. Offset wheels still break into slides nicely, but they do it in a controlled, progressive way instead of snapping out suddenly.
The wheel surface is machine-finished with a rough, stone-ground texture instead of being shiny and smooth out of the mold. Stone-ground wheels skip that awkward new wheels phase. They break traction evenly, slide smoothly from the first run, and feel consistent right out of the box.
Stone-ground wheels tradeoff slightly less initial grip and can feel looser at high speed which is why they are perfect for freeride, tech sliding, urban hills, and trick-style downhill. If your goal is controlled slides and flow, stone-ground is a massive upgrade over glossy finish wheels.

I got these for my general freeride longboard setup. In my experience the clear/ghost urethane formulas feel a bit more pure than the colored varieties. Faster, better? Perhaps not, it might all be in my head. In any case, the wheels look great on my setup, and they roll smoothly too. The urethane grips when you need it and can break into a slide easier than I expected. These are great wheels, will probably be on this setup for some time to come. Thanks, I'm stoked!
