I'm on holiday in Zanzibar for a bit, visiting my friend @gennaprint. Took the opportunity to do a bit of skating in Forodhani park. Skated around the city abit more, but not insanely interesting.

88 Wheel Co McFly Review (best LDP wheel?)
Просмотров 4,6 тыс.2 года назад
This is a product review of the 88 wheel co 86mm Mcfly. I think @88wheelco have really outdone themselves with this product. I haven't skated a wheel as fast as this one, but that also absorbs a ton of road vibration whilst providing a "cloud-like" ride.

      I enjoyed the 77a Blue Orangatang Kegels on it. Good balance of speed, momentum and comfort. There also other 80mm wheels out there that would work well depending on what characteristic you want to prioritise.

    I just really loved having a LONGboard with the kick tail, felt stiff enough, ollied it often and it was fine. Now yes, as time went on, I swapped wheel’s, added riser, new bearing and some conical bushings. I really loved the deck though, such a nice vibe

  • @MikeSamuelsII-ve8gp
    @MikeSamuelsII-ve8gp Месяц назад

    These wheels are not nearly as soft in durometer as they claim, their durometer is in the mid to high 80's, not the 70's. Good review but your board and trucks appear more of a standard length and width than what is considered a longboard. Good deck nonetheless, Comet made some good stuff. My personal go-to wheels would be real Kryptonics (not the Penny board Chinese crap ones) Seismic/3DM and Abec 11 wheels.

    Is it possible to use the board and have a better braking power with the brake on the front instead of the rear? Is it comfortable to stomp the brake pedal with the front foot? Maybe it’ll brake better because the weight is transferred forward when you brake…

  • @dppppf7728
    @dppppf7728 3 месяца назад

    I think big wheels are just a waste of money. I have tried Speedvents purple blackops 85 mm. My original wheels are Arbor Easyrider 69 mm. The difference is small. And my speedwents have chunks after only 6 weeks. The Arbor have not and I used them 5 times more. Anyway who ride on roads like those in your video? It s just for test. Ok but in real life you don t need big wheels bigger than 70 mm for two reasons - short life and very expensive.

    • @AroniDeliquint
      @AroniDeliquint 3 месяца назад

      No way bro. Speed vents are known for chunking so that is just a speedvent issue. Big wheels make distance skating way easier. So they're still worth it

  • @spark300c
    @spark300c 3 месяца назад

    which better for curising depends on how ruff the road it. crack to wheel should be greater than 1 to 4. So the wheel need to be 4 time bigger than crack. so if there is 15mm cracks you need at least 60mm wheel. If road in really poor shape and there is 20mm cracks then you need 80mm. Also the ratio rule goes for bumps too. though for bumps it more like 1 to 8 to be on the safe side. this also goes for the size of the rocks.

  • @fochi88
    @fochi88 3 месяца назад

    Apply same logic with vehicle brakes. If you drive your car downhill and are constantly on the brakes your brakes heat up and become less effective. Common knowledge is front brakes make up for more than half the power and this set up gives you only rear brakes I love mine and understand the limitations.

    Like 10 YEARS ago you could get a black knock-off penny board with a braking system and SO glad I didn't. Seems it hasn't changed from here where /when it didn't let you bomb hills safely earlier, slowed progress, increased weight, and got people in dangerous situations they weren't ready for even tripping people trying to brake and corner with the peg catching + less grip. Flat boardwalk cruising was okay to look like you didn't need to run of board when starting out I suppose.
