Title: advice good back wheel for freestyle 16t 14mm
Post by: 333337lee on June 06, 2009, 04:00 PM

I've just started going to the local skatepark. I have made up an s&m pbr cost me £3 for the frame a while back. most of my other bikes are from the 80's & 90's.

I find tricks much easier on the pbr. 360's on the flat I got on the 3rd go. and I managed a few rollback 360's trying for a 540 never been past 180 bitd. (Thanks to reading the Bob Haro freestyle book). they were much harder on my old heavy mid 90's GT vertigo. and I was much more wobbly on my 85 streetbeat. my rippers too long and my arayas on my aero pro cost me too much and are too old to risk.

So the S&m is my best bike for tricks and skatepark. I can't remember riding a better bike for tricks

unfortunately after the 5th or sixth 360 I buckled my wheel a 90's 36h alex rim very light but obviously not up to my weight. the last  time I used to do 360's on the flat was about 6 or 7 years ago. I buckled a 48h weinman alloy on my GT back then.

Sorry about the rambling  any advice i'm just over 6ft and not too light, what new 16t 14mm rear wheel  can you recommend nice and strong but reasonably light.

I have some skyways but unsure if they will get out of shape.

cheers

It states it's a flip-flop hub, so is threaded for the larger 16+ freewheels one side & the smaller 13+ freewheels the other so you should be set  :daumenhoch:
