So I've had my yak metalcore for a few weeks now (thanks Tdadd). Here the review, as a front wheel.
First impression: whoa, they're skinny. the core looks nice, thinner than what you would see on Eaglesports but then again they are half the price of one. Putting the bearings in was easy, the little plastic sleeves let em really nicely.
Its a pretty good wheel for speed. It has 88a durometer, meaning its pretty hard and fast. But that also makes it a little slippery on wet surfaces.
This wheel is amazing for sliders, backwards and frontwards. I was never amazing at front sliders but with this wheel, it makes them really fun and easy. Same with back sliders. It hasn't chunked out or anything either.
It seems to be holding up pretty well during kicker riding. I haven't gotten to ride my kickers a whole lot, but the urethane seems decent. The bad thing about the urethane is that there isn't very much of it.
Beware of riding one on the back though, there have been a few people having the bearing sleeves break.
Pros:
Fast
Good for sliders
Cheap (cheapest metalcore out there)
Easy to get bearings in and out
Cons:
Thin urethane
Slippery
Bearing sleeve can break
So overall, its a great front wheel. You really can't beat the value, at about 11 or 12 dollars per wheel. You can get them from a variety of dealers, including Sky High Scooters. You can find their link to the right>>>.
these wheels suck dickkk,ive had em for 4 days and oness about to dehub and ive only riddin rails
ReplyDeletelol.
ReplyDeleteconrad, youve probably been landing sideways every time.
I heard these wheels dont last long because the plastic thing in the middle just falls out. Wich is why i would buy protos micro's or eagles
ReplyDeletewaste of my money, urathane cracked down the middle second day. i wasn't even going as hard as i usually ride.
ReplyDeletego fuck your self
ReplyDeletei had one they lasted for ages untill my mum ran it over then the metal went threw the ruber but realy sliperly in wet wether
ReplyDeleteI have had these wheels for about 3 months and a few small chunks have came off the back one but they are good overall
ReplyDeletethere awsome
ReplyDeletecoool
ReplyDeletethese weels suck balls I broke the metal in 3 hours. all I was riding was bowl
ReplyDeleteThese wheels are shit, my 9yo son rode one on the back for 2 weeks and the tyre came away from the rim, mostly rails and tail whips (he came very close to a big stack), If a 9yo can do this to one of these wheels I'd hate to see what a pro rider would do to them.
ReplyDeleteDAMN YO thesse wheels are shit..... eaglesss.!
ReplyDeleteeagles are the best
ReplyDeletethey are really shit
ReplyDeleteThese wheels are awsome. whats the problem . only a retard rides in wet. i go skaeark and they are amazingly good!!!!! smooth sticky. i put em on and now land double whips

ReplyDeleteYAKS ARE BAD. i ride scooters alot and i know my parts. once i had 100 mm metal core blue and blue yak wheels and they de-hubed after doing a few triple tail whips and bri's. DO NOT BUY YAK
