Comments: I weigh 170 and play on Ice Court. These wheels are great, and especially for the price!
These wheels are so grippy that the wheel dust sticks to them. They were awesome the first game, the second game I slid around like nobody's business. I was so bummed and couldn't understand how that could be because the first game I had such good grip. I looked at my wheels and they were covered in wheel dust. The rink I play on, the surface is called Ice Court. Similar to sport Court but denser (harder) and textured so that the puck reacts more like ice, but because of the texture, it's hard on wheels - Also, the rink I play at, they do not clean the surface so the rink collects a lot of wheel dust. These wheels have held up nicely, and once I figured out about the wheel dust, I clean them before every game and the wheels perform great - If the rink cleaned the rink surface daily, I don't think I'd have this problem. Overall, I am very happy with these wheels, and I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for them... bonus!

Comments: I weigh 160lbs and these wheels are certainly meeting my expectations. I've been using them on a finely grated plastic surface that I do not get any grip on with my original 78a wheels. After 5-6 uses (20 hours of use) there is hardly any signs of wear. Overall I'm very impressed!

Comments: Nope. No grip. For 74As I should be able to stop and turn like there's glue on the rink, but instead I've had them about a month and they're slipping all over the place. They hold up well and are pretty durable, but I play on sport court and there's no excuse for this kind of sliding.
