If you want some ABEC11 wheels for DHing that are in the 66mm range look at the Retro ZigZags. You need a square lipped wheel to give you traction in corners. You can get the ZigZags in a lot of different duros.
actually, i might suggest bumping up to a 70mm zigzag if you're gonna go that route.

I think I have heard enough about the Retro/ABEC11 wheels that I at least owe myself one set of ZigZags to see what is up with the hype.

With this many people getting behind them there must be something good about the way they roll.

So I ordered some 66mm 83a Zig Zagz and some 65mm 85a Tsunamis..

I figure the Zig Zags will be on my a downhill set up and I will see how I like the Tsunamis as a freeride wheel.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, now all I have to do is wait until this snow melts and it warms up a little... should be about March.


On a side note, how come some companies want 13-15 bucks for shipping wheels while other companies want 30-40 for the exact same service?

This is a horrible shipping practice and has made me exclude some online skate shops all together.
Seems like a huge rip-off!

I stepped up to an 80mm wheel last year, love that size now..... my 70mm's actually seem small now.

abec 11 zigs in 80a, pick your own size, if you want somehting thats going to haul arse 107mm fly wheels are supposed to be the shit hot fast wheel, but your probs best off with some abec 11 zig zags in 80a reflex thane, stupid grippy shape and super fast wheel
