70mm longboard wheels question
Permalink  
 

Hey fellow longboarders! I've recently been considering upgrading my longboard wheels to a set of 70mm ones, but I have a few questions before I take the plunge. I've been riding 65mm wheels for a while and I'm curious about the differences I can expect. Do 70mm longboard wheels offer a noticeably smoother ride and better roll over cracks and pebbles? How about the impact on speed and control during slides? I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations regarding brands and durometers that work best with 70mm wheels. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights and helping me make an informed decision! 🛹🤔

Hey fellow riders! Considering an upgrade to 70mm longboard wheels is an exciting move! The shift from 65mm to 70mm can indeed bring about some noticeable changes in your ride. Generally, larger wheels tend to offer a smoother ride, especially when it comes to rolling over cracks and pebbles. They can provide a bit more clearance, making those rough spots less of a hassle.

In terms of speed, larger wheels can provide slightly more momentum, which can be a plus for cruising and longer rides. However, the impact on slide control might differ based on the durometer and shape of the wheels. Finding the right balance between grip and slide control is key, so experimenting with different durometers can help you dial in that sweet spot for your style.

As for recommendations, there are many reputable brands out there. Look for a durometer that suits your preferred riding style – softer for more grip, and harder for easier sliding. Remember, the perfect setup can be a personal preference, so feel free to experiment and find what feels best for you.  Insta pro
