Review on Upgrade Your Skateboard With Rollerex Phaser 92A 54Mm Wheels by Byron Elliott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

tech review for my opinion

IMHO, 92a duro is the perfect blend between street and park. The 90a all-terrain wheels are on the soft end and 95a is at the high end. Park specific wheels start at 97a up to 101+. These beat your knees on anything but smooth surfaces. 85-95a is great for absorbing some road shock and still getting a good, solid road feel. The narrow contact patch makes them really responsive and maneuverable. These are perfect for beginners working up to hard park wheels due to the park cut. I use 92a 62mm Rainskates Kakus on my longboard. I heard tell the rollerex wear down quicker than other wheels, but for a Franklin, you could get 3 for the cost of most other wheels. The cut is classic, like mini logo c-cut or spitfire classics. I have 92a ricta 56mm clouds, but they are a street cut, like mini logo a-cut or santa Cruz slime balls. They have a wider contact patch and a recess toward the bearing seat to reduce weight. If you want park cut wheels, there are not many options in this duro. Rollerex seems to only make one skateboard wheel and the reviews are not technical. Good reviews on their rollerblade wheels, though. I think if you want a softer learning wheel for outdoor or indoor parks, this is a great option. I'm riding them on a lib tech rat tail with Paris trucks. The duro is what I like and they carve really well. They also slide easier than the street cut wheels. So far they are super fun and responsive. Start here and get used to it. Eventually you will move up to a 100+a. Skateshred distribution has a killer 100a blank for very little and if you go ahead and buy bulk, you save a lot. You will end up needing a dedicated park deck with 87-101+a wheels, but the 92a are great to learn on rougher surfaces, like driveways. They also work in rougher ditches. For the price, I'd try them. Or, I guess I mean I did try them and I definitely think they are a fun and snappy performer. I'm having fun on them, anyway, and I don't feel as bad taking a long slide on a $10 wheel as opposed to a $40 wheel. I can't imagine you would be disappointed with the product under reasonable product expectations. There.

Pros
  • easy install, grandson said board is fast now
Cons
  • May not absorb shock as well as other skateboard wheels
