What is your favorite wheel to use these days? I couldn't find an updated post on this and thought we could use a thread where we frequently update with our favorite wheels.
Currently, I've been using the Konixx Pure +1 wheels, but have been looking at getting a new set of Labeda Addictions for different skates. When I used these before I had the yellow wheels, which are designed for lighter players, however the orange wheels are a bit confusing as they're for heavier players but offer more grip? From experience, I always enjoyed harder wheels, or wheels specifically for heavier players because they're harder and offer less grip for a lighter player, thus skating faster - is it still the case with the Labeda Wheels? I found it easier when it was labeled 74/76, x-soft/soft format, rather than grip/grip+. I believe the Orange wheels are 78, so in theory it should still provide less grip for a lighter player and be harder, correct?
Has anybody tried Rink Rat's latest wheels and do they hold up in durability these days, since they never did...
I also looked at Revision Flex - anybody have feedback on them?
Konixx pure have been awesome and one of my favorite wheels I've ever used. Highly recommended for durability, speed, and grip.
