My grandson is asking for 82-B (really hard) wheels. Are these Bones STF as hard as 82-B?

82-B is just a formulation of Urethane that came to popularity in the early 2000's. 82-B was previously the best formulation of wheel hardness and grip that existed before the Bones STF fomulation. The reason that Bones doesn't disclose their formulation number is likely either a.) they dont want anyone to know or b.) It is a non traditional urethane blend. Bottom line: If your grandson likes the hardness associated with 82-B wheels, he will LOVE these. They are harder and NEVER flatspot

oh yes, they are quite hard wheels, one of the hardest you'll find on the market

These training wheel are very sturdy thick metal. Not sure they would even bend with the weight of an adult.

This version is V4. You can check it out for yourself on the bones website: http://bones.com/why/street-tech-formula/ When the listing on Amazon is not detailed enough, you can look at the sizes of the wheels on the link I provided and match them to the sizes available on the amazon website. I hope this helps :)

Hello,Those wheels are available and the 185/70R13 tires would work well with the wheel. Thanks,Ryan BolandWheel Specialist

It depends on the size of your wheels, but for sure you should try to get Bones brand bearings.

The wheels come connected by a small piece of wireframe. All together, both wheels with the wireframe connecting the two are 0.42g or 6.5 grains.I would estimate the wire-frame constitutes less than 5% of the weight, but that's a guess since they're all one piece. I would guesstimate each wheel alone being roughly 0.19g

BTW, we'd highly recommend getting the Stealth PBO wheels vs the Stealth SS. The PBO spokes are incredibly strong and also absorb vibration like few others. They make the bike much smoother over rough surfaces.

Purchased through Amazon, it appears that they are grade 8.8, which I now understand is equivalent to SAE grade 5 (thanks for the clarification, A. Baldwin!!) The nuts have "|8|" stamped on each of them, and the bolts have "8.8" stamped on the heads. The description should specify "Grade 8.8" instead of simply "Grade 8."

You shouldn't have any problem using these wheels with 28s, especially with wire tires. As you may know, the rims are on the heavy side and not at all aero, but they are strong.

Hi, thanks for the message. Since these are a little bigger you may sense a little faster speed. Also, something to consider is the contact patch. Are these wheels wider or narrower than the wheels that come on Penny boards? I cannot speak to this. Finally, the hardness may be a little different as well. Let me know how else I can help.Thanks!

The wheels are neither hard plastic or softer rubber. They are a dense squeezable foam composition. For being foam they work great on our laminate floors and I love the fact they won't cause any scratches.

they are great beginner wheels. I've been writing for the past year with them. Oh, and don't bother with super reds. Just get some mini logos, they are made by the same company and they are cheaper and just as good.

No, they would actually be 2013 wheels. They've been making this model for quite some time However, we'd highly recommend the Stealth PBO wheels, which we carry - they're a major spoke upgrade, much stronger as well as very vibration absorbent.

I bought these to replace ripstik wheels, and they fit just fine. I have found, however, that they are much softer than the original wheels that came with the ripstik so you will not get the same life out of these wheels. They wear down very quickly. I am an average sized adult male (~180lbs) and the wheels wear down at an alarming rate (especially the back wheel which does most of the work on a ripstik). For other applications (other than ripstik) these wheels should hold up much better.

They are rubber hard not soft. It is a wonderful buggy, very well built and a favorite of our granddaughter. I highly recommend it!

All wheels are hard plastic, but are well constructed. My daughter has had her big wheel for over two years now without anything breaking. The only downside to plastic wheels is the wheel will spin on certain surfaces and not grip to go.
