78 mm Wheels

[ATLstealth09 0]

Well, since I last stocked up on wheels, the price of the Rink Rat Hot Shot has gone up to 8.00 - 8.50 a pop. Unless I can find them at a better price, I may end up skating on nubs. I have found 78 mm wheels on sale, though. Do you think this would be a passable replacement for 80 mm wheels? I have been against using 76s on Hum'ers, since that defeats the purpose, but 78 mm is damn close to 80, as Nike Bauer demonstrates on its One-Up chassis.

Thoughts?

if you are rolling on all 80s there shouldnt be any problem, but if you are on some sort of hi-lo I dont know if I would want to do that

nibbler, I hope you aren't going to put that in the back of a OneUp chassis. That 78mm nonsense doesn't do anything.
