    Personally I don't like them dude,I'm strictly a eurothene wheel guy.I will however invest in the F1 107's later this year to help on some of the rougher roads in my area although so far the 97's have been very good .
     
  3. Check this link out,
    According to this guy these jed wheels have more bounce to them as opposed to f1 107mm wheels.

    They look good but as I'm already running 97mm it would seem pointless buying 100mm over the 107's .If I had 83's then they would be a worthwhile go .
    Thanks though
     
  8. There are also some 110 mm wheels you can get from the shredlight website:

    Rough Stuff Wheels

    They are kind of a hybrid option.

    Fozzy – glad everything is working out for you. Took me awhile to get my back leg to the point where long rides don’t fatigue it any longer. Carving and sliding are definitely affected by where you are on the board but it really sounds like you know all that and it is just an adjustment period for you more than anything else. I love my Abec 11 97s and not certain I will even switch to the 107s once I wear these out. Having side that I when my wife surprised me with the GT it also came with the ATs. I didn’t think I would like them much but after trying them a few times they can be a blast. Riding single track paths with them is a completely different feel and a lot of fun. I go with a much looser truck setting on those rides. My only point is the ATs open up a new area for riding which requires a different set of skills. Once you have been riding your board for a while you might want give it a go. Down side is the board gets somewhat dirty and bearing maintenance is more frequent. Anyhows have a great time and ride on!

    Cheers dude for the nice reply . I’ve actually bought some evolve 107’s as I managed to buy a new set for £99 . I will wait till I have the 38t gear set up before using them but look forward to it .im also going to buy a set of bearings with the built in speed rings to save having a bunch of small parts to loose

    May I ask how you added the checkerboard pattern to your motors? That’s really unique, I like it!

    It's just a checker decal that I bought off eBay .Like £1.99 for 10 x 80x80mm sheets so plenty when I need to freshen them up .i mainly did it to keep the motors unmarked

    No, it's bound to happen to me as well on Monday. If something can go wrong, knowing me it will.
