Kuzak outdoor wheels?

[trajik78 0]

I was looking for some cheap replacement wheels and I stumbled upon this site. I never heard of Kuzak wheels but for the price ($1 for 80mm 82a / $2.50 for 76mm 80a) i don't think i can beat it.

i was planning on putting the softer wheels in front and the harder ones in the back. figure the softer in front might help for turning and the hard in back for speed....

has anyone used Kuzak, and/or used softer wheels in front and harder in back?

The price may be cheap, but chances are they won't last you long.

worst wheels ever.. save your $$

I had a kid on my team who thought the same thing.. in the first game, he shredded two wheels. the next practice, the rest of them fell apart.

If you want to go cheap and save a few bucks, do a 76mm/68mm - it's the same ratio, and very little difference in top end speed. You can usually find those sizes made by a top of the line brand on clearance for next to nothing.

I play on concrete, and on my HiLos I use harder wheels in the back than the front.

I've also tried Kuzaks. Like that night in Amsterdam, it was a one time thing.

It's pretty easy to tell what a good quality wheel is for outdoors - i normally always get 84a wheels. If the wheels you buy chunk after a few skates then the are either badly made or else way too soft for the surface you are playing on. These are some of the better ones out there for asphalt:

Hyper 250's (84a the orange ones!)

Mission DSX (84a)

I've also had good luck with Labeda shooters, as well. In fact, the only LHS I can find here stays open basically just selling those wheels and bearings.

The Mission wheels are basically a hyper 250 relabeled. The wheel is made by hyper.

that's fine by me as long as it means there will be more good outdoor wheels available - i used to by nothing but the hyper 250's but then those became almost impossible to find

i don't understand why the wheel companies make 20 indoors models and only like 2 outdoor models - indoor wheels don't wear much at all and outdoor wheels only last a month or so, i would think there is more profit to be made in outdoor wheels since you have to replace them so often..

dunno maybe im wrong..

i meant a few months back none of the normal hockey websites i buy them from had them, all they had was the yellow hyper 250's and yes i ended up getting a set off ebay - i didn't mean they are impossible to find now

Rink Rat world cups last me a good long time, not cheap but are the best to me
