Bones Rough Riders All Terrain Wheel

The Bones Rough Rider 56mm 80a All Terrain Formula wheel boasts the following features: "a New H5 Hub -Chemically bonded for an extremely strong hold -Smaller hub radius for smoother ride -Wider core to support complete wheel -Maximizes roll for more speed over rougher surfaces..." I have a set on the way and am looking forward to giving them a spin and will be posting a more comprehensive product review in the future.

Powell Peralta Bombers III

The 60mm 85a Powell Peralta Bomber III is a "soft to medium hard" wheel that is good for all terrain. I chose these because I was looking for a wheel a little on the softer side than my previous set, a wise choice considering most of the spots I frequent here are rough.

Similar to my favorite Rat Bones, sized at 60mm with that all terrain 85a durometer, but sporting a center-set design and a 40mm contact patch, the Powell Peralta Bomber III will roll over rough surfaces while allowing you to keep your speed and them some.

NOS Tracker 1/8" Base Grip Foam Risers

I imagine these will make your ride stealthily quiet! I have always liked a bit of a riser, even in the early 1990s when it was mandatory that you not use them. Just my thing. Thank you good buddy Steve R. for the kind donation! Stoked!
