Aslong as you're not riding really fast and end up make really tight turn because they do slide, either way great wheels to cruise

First, if you're just cruising, especially on a pintail, you don't want super reds. They're overpriced and you won't get going fast enough for them to be worth the money. I like zealous bearings, they last forever, they roll pretty well once you break them in, anf unlike Bones they're damn near water proof. Second these wheels are ok. Just ok. You get what you pay for with wheels and you're not paying much here. For cruising they'll be fine. Just know if you try to take a tight turn they have a tendency to slip out. And if you slide on them they'll skitter, or try to grip, or just act like they're made of ice. You never know, they're quite unpredictable. Also don't get a pintail. Yeah they look gorgeous, which is fine if that's what you like so go with it if you want (I'm just some guy on the Internet) but they're useless for anything besides cruising.

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.

my son says the problem with these bearings is they make his skateboard go too fast.They are great. I used to own a Skate shop. Bones bearings are by far the best bearings you can buy.

I love the mud slingers I have them on 3 of my rigs. They look great with the axial rockstar beadlocks and those wheels don't break the bank ...ive those rims for about a year of hard rock crawling and no problems ...get the 2.2 size rim

The Pomona Santa Cruz board is great. Wheels and Trucks fit the board well. You won't be dis appointed with this board or any of Santa Cruz's product. Make sure to buy a Adjustment Key to balance the board to you. Tighten or loosen the trucks to weight.

These wheels are great. I installed them on 1.9 pit bull tire's and put the combination on my axial jeep rubicon and does well in dirt and rocks. Hope this helps you out.

These wheels do not have sealed bearings, they have loose ball bearings and a lot of poor quality grease. Your best bet is to repack them when you get them. The inside edges of the rims (the bead locks) are rough. I would recommend running a file or piece of sand paper around the inside of the rim to remove all of the burrs and to smooth them out as mine were sharp enough to cut through the bead of a tire. The wheels are heavy but that's what you want to hold up to the general abuse that is inherent of riding a fixed gear bike. Also make sure to order tubes with extra long stems. These are deep rims.

They have sealed bearings, run quite smoothly, i believe they are made by Formula. I have not yet used these wheels but had some Formula hubs in the past and had no problems with them. They see quite well made for the price.Sorry. can`t be more specific about the bearings without opening the hubs. For the price and look of the wheelset i am not worried, heard about spokes being too short on them.

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough.But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have. They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose.

The sizes are universal. With these trucks I would suggest 70mm orangutan wheels, bones reds bearings, and any hardware set will do. And if you don't have grip tape on your board, or you want new tape. I would suggest Black Diamond tape.

Hello, The wheels are available, and should fit nicely. Feel free to purchase them. Thanks, -Matt

Definitely. I would consider purchasing new wheels eventually though. The board is great for cruising though I have no problem with its everyday use.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like. First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

I had bad luck with bones reds, had to return them twice because of some grinding issue, then got some super reds worked perfectly and runs extremely smooth especially if you clean and lube them on occasion. If you would want to go the cheaper route you have the possibility of getting a few bad bearings vs paying a little more getting better quality. as for which ones last longer I do not know.

It is a very good starter board. It was my first board and i pretty much kept up with all my friends that boarded. the trucks and wheels arnt great but they work. If you think you are goin to get into boarding alot I would spend the extra money and get a better one but if you aren't sure if you will like boarding or not this board will do the trick.

The wheels are pretty good. I haven't had any issues with them. To me, they seem quite sturdy.

I'm afraid I can't answer that. When I got them the thread seemed to not match my Patriots hubs so I sent them back. The finish looked nice in the box, but if they don't hold the wheel on.... !
